The Rickover Fellowship Program is now accepting applications from prospective and current graduate students. This program is desinged to meet the needs of the Naval Reactors Division of the US Department of Energy for appropriately trained personnel for the maintenance and development of science and engineering technology as it pertains to naval nuclear propulsion. The program will assist in preparing students for roles in naval nuclear propulsion and will support the brader objective of advancing fission energy development through the research efforts of the fellows. The technical areas with greatest interest include reactor physics, nuclear marterials science and engineering, radiation shielding technology, thermal hydraulics, and computational fluid dynamics.
ELIGIBILITY
Students with undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences or engineering are eligible to apply for the Rickover Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering. The program is open to all individuals who will be starting graduate studies or graduate students who are currently enrolled in a qualified course of study but have not yet selected a thesis topic. The award is limited to 48 months maximum for doctoral candidates. Awards may be limited to less time than the maximum in some situations.
