Summary

The Secretary of Energy can give up to 1,000 fellowships for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1979, and up to 1,000 in each of the five years after that. These fellowships pay for graduate study and research in applied science and engineering related to the production, conservation, and use of fuels and energy. They are for students working toward a master’s degree and can be used at any college, library, archive, or other research center the Energy Secretary approves after talking with the Secretary of Education. Each fellowship can last as long as the Energy Secretary decides, but no more than two years. The Secretary can also award extra fellowships to replace awards that are given up before their time ends. Each replacement fellowship can only cover the unused time left on the original award.
