Trade School and Community College Scholarship Grant Awards Institution Amount Title Columbia Basin College $150,000 Columbia Basin College Nuclear Scholarship Program

Columbia Basin College Nuclear Scholarship Program Executive Summary:

in partnership with the Colleges Nuclear Technology Advisory Committee and local nuclear industries, have identified the need to increase the number of students, especially from underrepresented groups, pursuing degrees that lead to careers in the operation and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials. CBC requests funding to continue its academic merit scholarship program for Nuclear Technology students. Funding will provide approximately 30 scholarships over two years for students enrolled in the Nuclear Technology program. NRC support is a critical component in recruiting and retaining a diverse cohort of students in our region for entry into the high-demand/high-growth nuclear industry.
