I'm graduating high school soon and planning to study nuclear engineering. Are there specific scholarships for students pursuing this field that I should apply for? Would love some advice on where to look!
There are several scholarships available specifically for students aspiring to study nuclear engineering.
1. American Nuclear Society (ANS) Scholarships: ANS offers several scholarships annually for students interested in nuclear science and technology careers. The amounts and requirements vary, but typically, high school seniors planning to pursue nuclear engineering can apply.
2. Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Scholarships: NEI also offers various scholarships for students interested in nuclear science and engineering. The NEI Nuclear Engineering Scholarships are explicitly for students in that field.
3. NextStepU STEM Scholarship Contest: NextStepU offers a $1,500 scholarship for students pursuing a degree in a STEM field, which includes nuclear engineering.
4. North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) offers the “Drawing the Future of Nuclear” scholarship. It recognizes students who can create a compelling image of the future of the nuclear industry.
