Nuclear Regulatory Commission Awards Scholarship Funds To Chattanooga State

  • Friday, February 27, 2015

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has awarded $146,845 to fund scholarships for students in nuclear-related programs at Chattanooga State Community College.

The donation made to the Chattanooga State’s Nuclear Scholarship Program will provide 32 scholarships to full-time students majoring in one of four nuclear-related programs of study in the Engineering Technology Division. The awards will be made over a two-year period beginning Fall Semester 2015, and the scholarships will average $4,000 per year (two semesters).

The NRC’s support of Chattanooga State students will ensure educational opportunities for students wishing to pursue careers in the nuclear power industry and other nuclear-related careers. 

Chattanooga State offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree in Engineering Technology with four concentrations: Nuclear Power Engineering Technology, Radiation Protection, Non-Destructive Testing Technology, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control. The nuclear-related programs are aligned with the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program.

Students interested in enrolling in one of the four nuclear-related concentrations will be informed about the possibility to receive scholarship support. Students wishing to apply must complete a scholarship application; provide transcripts, and two letters of recommendation. Applications are now available, and the deadline for submission is March 31. To apply, see https://www.chattanoogastate.edu/engineering-technology/scholarships.
