The Program Award for Technical and Higher-Education (PATH), sponsored by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), offers scholarships to students from Minority Serving Institutions pursuing a technical certificate, or an associate, bachelor, or graduate degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM)-discipline that supports the critical needs of the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). The NSE has a wide array of critical needs that range from technical expertise and skilled trades to STEM research. Important areas of research include nuclear security, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, engineering, and energy systems. PATH is committed to serving diverse populations, providing education and programs that serve students with unique backgrounds, circumstances, needs, notions, and beliefs.
An informational webinar for NNSA PATH will be held on May 9, 2024 at 3PM.
PATH has the following objectives:
- Provide financial support to students who demonstrate a desire to pursue a STEM-focused academic pathway that applies to the NNSA Mission Directorates.
- Expose students to STEM-related research taking place at community colleges, undergraduate and graduate colleges and universities.
- Connect students to other NNSA MSI-supported students, faculty, and alumni.
- Foster an understanding of NNSA Mission Directorates and introduce students to the NNSA MSI Internship Program.
- Expose students to STEM-based careers at NNSA and the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE)
