Supporting ANS scholarships
To help educate and train the next generation of the nuclear workforce, ANS encourages donations to the Society’s numerous scholarships programs. A description of each scholarship and a convenient online donation form, which allows donors to designate their contributions to support specific awards, are accessible online.
