Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Other

“Grant Process The foundation uses an industry based steering group to oversee the grant process for the research award program. The steering group is responsible for setting selection criteria, reviewing applications, and selecting the class of fellows and researchers. The students are then assigned mentors from the foundation and within the hydropower industry who guide them through their research until their work is presented at one of the national industry conferences. All financial assistance given to the fellows and researchers, which includes tuition allowances, and some medical and living stipends, are administered by the managing director and grant coordinator.”
