John and Muriel Landis Scholarship

John and Muriel Landis Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students who have greater than average financial need. Consideration is given to conditions or experiences that render the student disadvantaged (First-Generation, English as a Second Language, physical or cognitive disability, lack of undergraduate preparation, etc.). Applicants should be planning a career in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, or a nuclear-related field and be enrolled or planning to enroll in a college or university located in the United States, but need not be U.S. citizens.

Qualified high school seniors are eligible to apply for this scholarship as an incoming freshman.
