Through the Integrated University Program, the U.S. Department of Energy awards more than $5 million for 45​ undergraduate scholarships and 33 graduate fellowships to students pursuing nuclear energy-related disciplines at universities across the country. Undergraduates receive a $7,500 scholarship, while fellowship winners receive up to $50,000 annually over the next three years. The graduate fellowships also includes a summer internship at a U.S. national laboratory or other approved facility to strengthen the ties between students and the Department’s nuclear energy research programs. The selected students study a breadth of critical nuclear energy issues, from fuel cycle sustainability to reactor efficiency and design.
