Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Scholarship and Fellowship Education Grant for Fiscal Year 2015 (Funding Opportunity Number: NRC HQ 84 15 FOA 0001) is a discretionary grant program aimed at strengthening the pipeline of trained professionals in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, and closely related disciplines. The core purpose is workforce development: supporting education and training that helps produce graduates who can contribute to the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities, as well as the safe handling and oversight of nuclear materials. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to help universities expand or sustain scholarship and fellowship support so more students can pursue nuclear-focused degrees and enter careers aligned with NRC and broader nuclear sector workforce needs.
This FOA falls under the education activity category and uses the grant funding instrument. The NRC anticipated making around 50 awards under this announcement. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $400,000, and the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally makes participation more feasible for institutions that may have limited ability to contribute institutional dollars.
Eligibility is centered on institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled and private institutions. The announcement also explicitly highlights participation from minority-serving and other designated institutions, listing Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Predominately Black Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions. This emphasis signals a clear interest in broadening participation and strengthening nuclear education pathways across a diverse set of campuses and student populations, while still supporting the overall national goal of developing a qualified nuclear workforce.
Key dates for the FY 2015 competition include a posted date of March 9, 2015, with an application closing date of April 17, 2015 (original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was archived on May 17, 2015. The program is associated with CFDA number 77.008 (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Scholarship and Fellowship Program), which is the catalog identifier applicants and institutions often use for compliance, reporting, and grants administration tracking.
