Seniors Eligible For Atom Grants
Seniors majoring in chemistry, physics, or engineering are eligible for the Atomic Energy commission-sponsored graduate fellowships in radiological physics for the 1953-54 school year.
Radiological physics is concerned with health physics, radiation monitoring and control, radioisotope measurements, and similar activities associated with the use of radioisotopes or the release of nuclear energy.
In each case, nine months of course work at the university is followed by three months of additional study and field training at the cooperating AEC installation. The program is accredited for graduate-level training leading toward an advanced degree.
As many as 75 fellowships may be awarded, with tully-accredited graduate study in three locations. One program is operated by the University of Kochester and Brookhaven National laboratory, another by the University of Washington and the Hanford Works of the AEC, and the third by Vanderbilt university and the Oak Ridge National laboratory.
Basic stipends is $1,600 per year, with an allowance of $350 if married and $350 for each dependent child. University tuition and required fees will be paid by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, which administers the program for the AEC.
