Integrated University Program (IUP): Scholarships & Fellowships

• IUP works to attract qualified

nuclear science and engineering students to the nuclear energy professions by providing undergraduate level scholarships and graduate level fellowships.

• Graduate Fellowship: $161,000 over three

years, $52K/year with an additional $5,000 provided to offset the costs of a 10-week minimum internship required of all fellows.

• Undergraduate Scholarship: $7,500 for one
• year. Scholarship recipients must reapply

each year to be selected for any future scholarship awards.

• Up to $5 million is expected to be available

in any given fiscal year for scholarship and fellowship awards. Funding availability is dependent upon DOE-NE appropriations.

• Serves as a support mechanism for annual IUP Requests for

Applications to student applicants.

• Establishes cooperative agreements between Institutions of

Higher Education (IHEs) and DOE as an instrument to receive IUP funds to be administered to students.

• To date, NE has issued 87 cooperative agreements to IHEs,

all of which are set to expire.

• This FOA provides an opportunity for U.S. IHEs to submit a

new application to remain as an approved IUP institution and to administer award funds.

• Funding will not be provided to IHEs when they are selected

as an approved institution.

• Funding will be incrementally added to IHE accounts via an

amendment to the established agreement in the amount necessary to fund annual scholarship and fellowship awards for selected students that will attend the IHE.

• The number of awards to U.S. IHEs in any given fiscal year

will depend on the actual number of eligible applicants.

• No funding will be provided to any U.S. IHE unless a student

has received a DOE-NE scholarship or fellowship award and is accepted or currently enrolled at that U.S. IHE.

• The selection of students to receive scholarships and

fellowships through the program will occur annually via a separate DOE-NE process.
