Life After Ursinus

Environmental Studies Scholarships and Fellowships

Recent graduate Sarah Huang was a recipient of the Environmental Protection Agency's Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowship. The $48,900 award recognized Huang's commitment to meet the country's environmental challenges by eventually pursuing a career in an environmental field and continuing her education beyond the undergraduate level. Huang was the fifth Ursinus student to win the scholarship and was one of only 38 other Fellows from college and universities across the country to be honored that year.
