Applications for the Nuclear Chemistry Summer Schools (NCSS) Program are due February 6 at 11:59PM ET.
The Nuclear Chemistry Summer Schools (NCSS) are a prestigious six-week summer program for undergraduates. Funding is provided by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, and the summer schools are administered through the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (NUCL) of the American Chemical Society. The NCSS has been running for 40 consecutive years with continuous funding provided by the US Department of Energy. NCSS alumni are sought by prominent graduate programs and employers in all fields.
The NCSS students receive stipends of $4,000 for the 6-week program. In addition to the stipends, the NCSS program pays for transportation to and from the Summer School location. The NCSS also pays for student housing, books, and laboratory supplies. Transferable college credit is awarded through the ACS accredited chemistry programs at San Jose State University (7 units) or Stony Brook University for the Brookhaven site (6 units). The NCSS program pays for all tuition and fees.
Overall, 24 students are selected to participate in the NCSS. Twelve students are placed at the West Coast summer school at San Jose State University and twelve students are placed at the East Coast summer school at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
