Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative University Fellowship Program: The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) University Fellowship Program (UFP) is part of the AFCI program's effort to establish and support a national university program to re-energize development and training in nuclear-related fields. This program also supports the stability of the nuclear infrastructure and develops research partnerships to rebuild the national nuclear science technology base. The US Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology is offering seven fellowships for students who are in or will be entering master's degree programs in the fall of 2004. Selected students will be full time students who are taking nuclear engineering courses as part of their degree program and will be seeking master's degrees in nuclear, mechanical, or chemical engineering, engineering/applied physics, physics, chemistry, radiochemistry, or other fields of science and engineering applicable to the AFCI mission. Selected fellows will be technical students of the highest caliber who will have research areas of interest to the AFCI program and thesis topics that are approved by the AFCI-UFP program manager. Up to $42,500.00 will be available to each master's degree fellow. The funds include a $1,600 monthly stipend for up to 18 months and support for tuition, fees, books, supplies, publishing costs, and AFCI fellowship related travel.
