Nuclear Chemistry Summer School (NCSS)

The Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology of the American Chemical Society sponsors and administers the summer schools in nuclear and radiochemistry which are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Selected students are awarded fellowships that include a $4,000 stipend and 6 college credits at Stony Brook University (State University of New York at Stony Brook). Students participating in the six-week summer program at Brookhaven National Laboratory will have the opportunity to visit research sites, attend a guest lecture series, and meet and interact with prominent research scientists working in nuclear and radiochemistry. The summer school program was founded as an educational outreach and workforce development activity to promote expertise in nuclear science and to provide trained personnel to meet national needs in nuclear research, the nuclear power industry, and nuclear medicine. Twelve students are chosen for each of the two sites. Brookhaven National Laboratory and its sister site, San Jose State University are proud to host these programs, and encourage you to apply.
