• Freshman and sophomore students, or other approved students, who have yet to complete the specified introductory courses in their major, should be making appropriate headway in the science and math courses required for their degree. They should also be pursuing appropriate prerequisite courses leading to enrollment in the “Introduction to Nuclear Science” course or an appropriate substitute course.
• Junior and Senior students should have completed the specified introductory course in the major:

-PHYS 2211 for physics
-CHEM 1212 for chemistry
-Appropriate gateway course for other majors

• Must be in good standing with an overall GPA of at least 2.5. 
• GPA less than 2.5 may be considered if the applicant has attained a significant academic achievement in the nuclear or a related field.

• Scholarship recipients who maintain eligibility must apply for renewed support in subsequent fall and spring semesters.
