About this scholarship
Full-time undergraduate or graduate students in at least their third year, or the two-year-program equivalent, pursuing nuclear or radwaste-related degrees who have not previously received a Roy G. Post award may apply.
Undergraduates receive $5,000 and graduate students receive up to $7,500, plus WM Symposia conference registration, hotel accommodations, and travel reimbursement.
Recipients must attend the full March WM conference, present a scholar poster, and submit an abstract and two reference letters through the WM Symposia account portal.
The Roy G. Post Foundation honors the founding chief executive of WM Symposia and supports students building careers in the safe management of nuclear materials.
