Operations and Power Division Scholarship

The Operations and Power Division Scholarship was established in November 1985 for upper-class undergraduate enrolled in a course of study leading to a degree in nuclear science, or nuclear engineering.

This scholarship’s purpose is to support an undergraduate, nuclear-related engineering student interested in a career in the nuclear power industry. The focus should be on students pursuing reactor operations careers (licensed or non-licensed). A second annual scholarship was added in November 2009.

OPD occasionally honors one of their members by naming the scholarship after them. Here is a history of memorialized members:

2003 – Peter Reagan
2005 - Walter A. Simon
2006 - Bertram Wolfe and Walter J. Apley
2007 - Dr. J. Lawrence “Larry” Meem, Jr.
2010-2016 - Robert L. Long
