Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Fiscal Year 2010 Trade School and Community College Scholarship Grant (Funding Opportunity Number HR FN 1009 NED03) is a discretionary education grant designed to help build the future nuclear workforce. The NRC, created under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, is responsible for licensing and regulating the civilian use of nuclear materials in the United States, with a mission centered on protecting public health and safety, strengthening national security, and protecting the environment. Through this scholarship program, the NRC aims to expand the pipeline of trained workers in nuclear science, engineering, and closely related fields that support the design, construction, operation, oversight, and safe handling of nuclear facilities and materials.
This specific announcement focuses on scholarships administered through trade schools and community colleges, and it is part of a broader NRC workforce development effort described as a $15 million program. Separate NRC announcements cover other parts of the pipeline, including undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships (HR FN 1009 NED01) and faculty development grants (HR FN 1009 NED02). In other words, HR FN 1009 NED03 is the track aimed at two year and trade focused training environments, supporting students preparing for nuclear related technical and professional roles.
Eligibility to apply is limited to trade schools and community colleges that qualify as postsecondary educational institutions or programs and are properly accredited or state approved, consistent with the Higher Education Act of 1965 (specifically the definitions referenced in Section 102, 20 USC 1002, and the federal accreditation resources linked in the announcement). The opportunity lists eligible applicant types as public and state controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with the clarifying point that the intended applicants are trade schools and community colleges meeting those accreditation or approval requirements. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so schools do not have to provide a required financial match to receive an award under this program.
A central feature of this scholarship program is the service commitment tied to receiving financial support. Scholarship recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress in their program of study, based on criteria laid out in the full announcement and as determined by NRC requirements. In addition, because the program is intended to strengthen the nuclear sector broadly, recipients are required to complete a service obligation of six months of nuclear related employment for each full or partial year of academic support they receive. Acceptable employment can be with the NRC itself, other federal agencies, state agencies, Department of Energy laboratories, nuclear related industry, or academia, as long as the work is tied to the recipient's supported field of study. The NRC retains the ability to waive the service obligation in whole or in part if it determines that meeting the requirement is impractical for the individual.
The announcement also makes clear that funding is not guaranteed beyond what is awarded. Even if a project or scholarship activity is recommended, the NRC notes there may not be sufficient funds to start or continue planned activities. Likewise, an award that covers one academic year for an individual student does not promise continued funding in later years needed to finish a degree or program. Importantly, if funding does not continue, that does not remove or change the service or employment commitment terms already agreed to by the student under the NRC scholarship conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on October 16, 2009 (with a creation date of October 19, 2009) and had an application closing date of December 16, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on January 15, 2010. The award ceiling is listed as $150,000. The CFDA number associated with the program is 77.008 (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Scholarship and Fellowship Program), and the funding instrument type is a grant under the education activity category.
