Washington, DC
– The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today issued a
new Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to
provide approximately $2.4 million in university
nuclear science and engineering fellowships and
scholarships.
Over 100 scholarships and

students through this FOA. Undergraduates will
receive scholarships that average $5,000 per year.
The maximum award for fellowships is anticipated to

“This Funding Opportunity
Announcement demonstrates our commitment to increase
the number of U.S. students entering the nuclear
science and engineering fields,” said DOE’s acting
Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Shane
Johnson. “These scholarships and fellowships are
critical in ensuring the education of a new
generation of U.S. nuclear scientists and
engineers.”
Letter of intent are
