Applications for the NNSA Program Award for Technical and Higher-Education (PATH) Scholarship are due March 2, 2025 at 11:59PM ET.
The Program Award for Technical and Higher-Education (PATH), sponsored by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), offers scholarships to students from Minority Serving Institutions pursuing a technical certificate, or an associate, bachelor, or graduate degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM)-discipline that supports the critical needs of the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). The NSE has a wide array of critical needs that range from technical expertise and skilled trades to STEM research. Important research areas include nuclear security, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, engineering, and energy systems. PATH is committed to bolstering the career pathways of talented students by supporting education for students with unique backgrounds, circumstances, needs, notions, and beliefs.
PATH has the following objectives:
- Provide financial support to students who demonstrate a desire to pursue a STEM-focused academic pathway that applies to the NNSA Mission Directorates.
- Expose students to STEM-related research and other activities/programs taking place at academic institutions.
- Connect students to other NNSA MSI-supported students, faculty, and alumni.
- Foster an understanding of the NNSA Mission Directorates and introduce students to NNSA-related programs: NNSA MSI Internship Program and NNSA Graduate Fellowship Program.
- Expose students to STEM-based careers at NNSA and the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE).
