The American Nuclear Society (ANS) plays an important role in helping students complete their post-high school education and prepare for careers in nuclear science and technology (NS&T). Among the programs available is the long list of ANS Scholarships for those looking for funding opportunities. More than 20 scholarships named after pioneers and leaders in NS&T and other general scholarships are awarded each year to students with outstanding academic credentials. Special scholarships are available to students who have significant economical needs in order to pursue degrees in NS&T. In addition to the scholarships for students entering their sophomore year and higher in college, ANS also provides scholarships to incoming freshmen. Since it was established in 1954, ANS's core purpose is to promote the awareness and understanding of NS&T. What better way than to support the development and education of those who will research and implement the future applications of nuclear science and technology. |

Scholarship recipients receive their award checks in late August. Each check is made payable to the recipient and mailed to the Department Head at the University the student is attending. The student should contact the Department Head to arrange to pick up his/her award. The ANS Outreach Department may be contacted for information about the Scholarship process. U.S. and non-U.S. applicants must be ANS student members enrolled in and attending an accredited institution in the United States. Academic accomplishments must be confirmed by transcript. All scholarships (except the Landis Scholarships and the Delayed Education Scholarship for Women) can be applied for on one form. (A separate form must be completed for the other two scholarships.)
