Overview
The American Nuclear Society (ANS) is a not-for-profit, international, scientific and educational organization. It was established by a group of individuals who recognized the need to unify the professional activities within the various fields of nuclear science and technology. The American Nuclear Society believes in rewarding its members for their academic, services and leadership excellence. To do so, scholarships are granted to qualified student members of ANS who have demonstrated a high commitment to the standards set by the Society.
Details
All scholarships are funded by contributions from the ANS Board, professional divisions and individual donations. The number and amount of scholarships granted are based upon the funds available each year, which varies each year.
Scholarships are awarded to high school, undergraduate and graduate students, and will be distributed at the beginning of each school year. Evaluation is based upon numerous factors, including academic preparation (GPA and test scores), leadership within the ANS, references, career goals and objectives, and financial need.
If you have any questions, please contact the ANS Scholarship Coordinator.
