ANS Congressional Fellowship open for applications

Deadline and details: The application deadline is June 6. ANS will be sponsoring two Fellows for the 2026 term, both of whom will be selected in July and will each receive a stipend of $95,000. The term of the fellowship will run from January to December 2026.

Testimonial: "The ANS Congressional Fellowship provides great opportunities for a nuclear professional to participate in federal policymaking and experience firsthand the intersections between federal and state policy, theoretical science, and engineered technology. The ability to understand the role policy plays in the nuclear industry is essential for future leaders,” said Harsh Desai, ANS treasurer and chief commercialization officer at Zeno power. In 2014, he worked in the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Cal) as ANS’s Congressional Fellow.
