About this opportunity

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created as an independent agency by Congress in 1974 to enable the nation to safely use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, such as in nuclear medicine, through licensing, inspection and enforcement of its requirements. Funding under this program includes support for education in nuclear related disciplines to develop a workforce capable of supporting the regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials. The total amount of funding available for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, trade school scholarships, and faculty development grants together in FY09 totals $15 million. This announcement is for undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships. The announcements for trade school scholarships and faculty development grants are published separately. As a condition for receiving scholarships or fellowships, students must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in their fields of study, as determined by criteria contained in this announcement and as established by the NRC. The nuclear education supported by this funding is intended to benefit the nuclear sector broadly. Consequently, NRC requires scholarship and fellowship students to serve 6 months in nuclear-related employment for each full or partial year of academic support. The employment may be with NRC, other Federal agencies, State agencies, Department of Energy laboratories, nuclear-related industry, or academia in the students’ sponsored fields of study. NRC may waive, in whole or in part, the service obligation, upon determination that compliance by the individual is impractical. There is no guarantee that sufficient funds will be available to initiate or continue grant activities where funding has been recommended by NRC. Future opportunities for submitting applications may be available, depending on future NRC funding authorization. An award funding an individual’s scholarship for one academic year does not guarantee that funding will continue for any subsequent years necessary for completion of the individual’s degree. That funding does not continue for subsequent years does not alter the terms of the service/employment agreement between the student and the NRC, as described above and discussed in full below. • Type of Award: This funding opportunity will use grants awards. • Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding available for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, trade school scholarships, and faculty development grants scholarships, and faculty development grants together in FY09 totals $15 million. NRC expects to support a limited number of scholarship and fellowship awards. The number of awards for FY2009 will depend upon the costs of the applications received. • Budget and Project Period: Fellowships may be requested for two (2) individuals of up to $50,000 per year for four (4) years ($400,000 total project period) and are not renewable. Scholarship funds for up to $200,000 per institution may be requested through this solicitation for two (2) years. Both amounts are exclusive of any matching, cost shared or leveraged funding by non-Federal entities. • Eligible Institutions/Organizations: Eligible applicants are regionally accredited public and private institutions of higher education as defined in Section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 USC 1002) and http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/ NRC does not award individual scholarships or fellowships. Individual students may not apply directly to NRC for scholarships or fellowships.
