SYNOPSIS:  The Demonstration of Energy-Efficient Developments
(DEED) program is a research, development and demonstration program
who aims to sponsor and conduct activities related to energy
innovation, improving efficiencies and lowering the cost of providing
energy services to the customers of publicly owned electric utilities.
DEED student research grants/internships support students studying in
energy-related disciplines, increase awareness of career opportunities
in public power, and provide assistance to DEED member utility
sponsors. Each year up to ten, $4,000 student research grants and
internships are awarded to students conducting research on an
energy-related project.  Students must be sponsored by a DEED member
utility and are required to write an abstract and final report at the
completion of the project. The DEED program offers funding for
projects that will develop and demonstrate new technologies and
techniques. Funding for DEED-sponsored projects comes in the form of
grants to DEED member utilities, scholarships to university students
studying in energy-related disciplines, and joint projects with APPA
committees.

OBJECTIVES:  DEED student research grants/internships are
intended to promote the involvement of students studying in
energy-related disciplines in the public power industry, and to
provide host utilities with technical assistance. Successful
applicants are expected to conduct research on a project approved by
the sponsoring utility and submit a final report on the project,
describing activities, cost, bibliography, achievements, problems,
results, and recommendations. A two-page summary abstract is also
required.

ELIGIBILITY
Students must be sponsored by a DEED member utility and are
required to write an abstract and final report at the completion of
the project. Only undergraduate or graduate students studying in
energy-related disciplines from accredited colleges or universities in
the U.S. or Canada are eligible for student research
grants/internships. Applicants will not be discriminated against on
the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or citizenship.
Students must obtain a DEED member sponsor for their student research
grant/internship.

FUNDING
Each year up to ten, $4,000 student research grants and internships
are awarded to students conducting research on an energy-related
project. Student research grants/internships may be split among
students collaborating on a single project. $1,500 will be withheld
until satisfactory completion of the project. Payments are made from
APPA to the sponsoring utility for dispersal to the student. (esm)
