ANS Scholarships

The ANS Scholarships program awards multiple undergraduate, graduate, incoming-freshman, community college/trade school, and local-section scholarships for study related to nuclear science and nuclear engineering. Awards are available across several categories including reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, materials science and technology, radioanalytical chemistry, and other nuclear-related fields. Scholarship amounts vary by category and level of study. Notifications and disbursements follow a schedule of application opening, deadlines, notification window, and award dispersal.

Monetary scholarship awards in amounts ranging from approximately $1,000 to up to $5,000 depending on scholarship category and level

Undergraduate and graduate scholarships are open to ANS student members enrolled in a course of study relating to a degree in nuclear science or nuclear engineering at an accredited university in the United States (or its territories). ANS members from established international student sections are also eligible to apply for ANS undergraduate scholarships (Sophomore, Junior and Senior only). Incoming freshmen scholarships are open to graduating high-school seniors who have enrolled full-time in college courses pursuing STEM with an interest in working in nuclear science and technology.

Applicants submit the ANS General Application or specific scholarship application according to category; applicant is required to be an ANS student member for most awards and incoming freshman recipients must join ANS prior to disbursement.
