ANS Pittsburgh Local Section Graduate Scholarship

The Pittsburgh Section Nuclear Science and Engineering Scholarship was established in June 1992 by the Pittsburgh Local Section for a graduate student in the greater Pittsburgh area or western Pennsylvania pursuing a degree in nuclear science and engineering, or related field.

In 1999, the scholarship fund yielded a larger return and a second undergraduate scholarship was created. Subsequently, the scholarship was renamed the Pittsburgh Local Section Graduate Scholarship.

The purpose of this graduate scholarship is to advertise Pittsburgh as a good place for the employment of scientists and engineers in nuclear science and engineering-related fields.
