General preparation guidance requires institution-submitted transcript and verifies enrollment; confirm the current freshman form because the linked sample is labeled 2025.

  • Recommendations
  • An essay
  • Membership in the sponsoring organization
Who can apply
Graduating high school seniors enrolling full-time in a four-year STEM program with an interest in nuclear science and technology. The specific award page lists high school achievement of more than 3.5 GPA or equivalent; citizenship and GPA weighting are not specified.
Good to know
Up to ten $1000 incoming-freshman awards annually; repeated awards or continuation rules are not stated. Become an ANS student member after starting undergraduate study before funds are released. AP courses and tests are recommendations, not minimum requirements. Any qualifying STEM discipline may fit; nuclear engineering is not the only major.
