Educational Activities


DOE's Office of Fossil Energy has had a longstanding commitment to the education of tomorrow's scientists and engineers. More than a quarter of a century ago, the Office established a coal research grant program specifically for student-professor research teams at the nation's universities. Our educational commitment expanded with a program to provide research and training grants to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority institutions. In 2000, a new fellowship program was inaugurated to bring promising minority students to DOE-Fossil Energy facilities for summer internships.
