Graduate Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering USA
August 6, 2008Admiral Hyman Rickover Graduate Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering
Medical University of South Carolina
This program is designed to meet the needs of the Naval Reactors Division of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 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 the naval nuclear propulsion and will support the broader objective of advancing fission energy development through the research efforts of the fellows. The technical areas with greatest interest include reactor physics, nuclear materials science and engineering, shielding technology, and two-phase flow.
ApplicationEligibility
Students with undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences or engineering are eligible to apply for the Rickover Graduate Fellowship. The program is open to all individuals who will be entering graduate students or who are currently enrolled in a qualified course of study (see technical areas) but have not yet selected a thesis topic. The award is limited to 24 months maximum for master’s candidates and 48 months maximum for doctoral candidates. Students who complete the master’s degree within the 24-month award limit and elect to continue graduate work toward a doctoral degree may apply for a change in program status. Awards may be limited to less time than the maximum in some situations.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Applicants may not be dual citizens. Employees of the DOE Naval Reactor Programs and their contractors are not eligible for the Rickover Graduate Fellowship.

i want to create………
I want to study for nuclear engineering “controlling rods” for post doctoral position. I took my M.sc. in nuclear physics from Addis Ababa University Ethiopia by doing on an experiment ‘Thermal neutron capture cross section for .;…..”. Then how can I find a free solar ship? crazily expecting answers!
i`m a grade 12 student in Ethiopia. i`m interested on Physics. can u get me a scholarship in any country.By the way i`m good at my educaton.waiting for u`r answer hopefully.

I am a male 24 years old Egyptian , have a degree in nuclear engineering from Alexandria University , I hope to continue my study.
i was graguated from MS nuclear enjneering. mm thesis was about RUUSSIAN REACTORS .I like to sudy on phd in field of reactor safety OR in field of application of nontehnology in reactor. how can i find a phd position?furthermore i was married . i am a woman and i have a children .
i was MS. graduated in nuclear engineerin by thesis in field of fast neutron -gamma shielding that has experiment on neutron-gamma spectrometry and unfolding of them.I search a free scholarship in fields such as neutron gamma projects , shielding of these particles , radiation detection technologies and recent researchs on them, plz help & guid me !
Dear all,
Hi,
I am a second year master student from Jordan, the field of study is nuclear physics, I had a scholarship to study this applied science “master degree” only. My thesis is about the MRPC as a neutron dector, and the work will be carried out at GSI-Germany.
I am looking to have a scholarship to complete my postgraduate study in nuclear engineering at united states universities.
Please offer me some help in this field.
