Student Programs
Because today's students represent the future of the nuclear
industry, the Materials Science and Technology Division actively supports a
wide range of student programs at the undergraduate and graduate level.
Below is a partial list of the activities currently or recently
supported. For more information on
these activities or to suggest others, please contact the MSTD University
Liaison, Ron Ballinger.
·
James
F. Schumar Scholarship
Named in honor of the first Chair of the MSTD, the James
F. Schumar Scholarship is drawn from an endowment administered by the
Scholarship Committee of ANS. It typically is awarded annually to graduate
students pursuing research in the field of nuclear materials science and
technology. More information and application materials may be obtained by
following the link above to the ANS scholarship web site.
·
Technical Programming Featuring Student Research
The MSTD held a special session at the 2000 ANS Winter Meeting in Washington, DC
solely devoted to student authors presenting results of their research. A
best-paper contest was held in conjunction with this session. For results,
follow the link above.
·
Student Literary
Award
This award is presented to recognize the student that
has presented the best full-length materials-oriented paper contributing to
the development of nuclear energy at the Annual or Winter ANS Meeting, and
subsequently submitted a full paper for publication in Nuclear
Technology or other peer-reviewed journal.
·
Student Conference Support
The MSTD routinely has provided financial support to the
regional ANS Student Conferences and repeatedly so since at least
2001. Support usually takes the form
of $400 for general support and a $100 award for best Materials Science
related presentation. Judges are
routinely recruited from MSTD for these conferences.
·
Student Travel Support
The MSTD frequently has provided financial support to
subsidize costs for student travel to the ANS National Meetings. Typically,
requests for support of this nature are made through the ANS Student Sections
Committee.
