Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program Offers Summer Opportunity

The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program provides students with an opportunity to gain and develop research skills with the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy for 10 weeks over the summer. For 20 years, this program has increased awareness of DOE research opportunities to students pursuing STEM degrees (short for science, technology, engineering and math). The goal of the program is to improve opportunities for women and minority students in these fields, however all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university (sophomore or higher) or had a Ph.D. conferred on or after January 2, 2014; have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher; be a U.S. citizen; and be at least 18 years of age. The deadline to apply is January 2, 2015.
