Apply to the Delegation
Thank you for your interest in the Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation. Prior to the application and selection process, there are a few things you should keep in mind: we are always looking for students who are well-rounded and active in their fields. Delegates are usually among the top in their class, are active in extracurricular activities such as ANS and other professional societies, and show a strong commitment to the advancement of their field. Those studying nuclear engineering who have an interest in political science or public policy as well would make excellent candidates.
The 2008 Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation will take place from July 12th to July 16th in Washington, D.C. Delegates are required to fly into Washington on Saturday, July 12th. While NESD is sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Institute and the American Nuclear Society, we still require that you secure funds from your school to cover your travel expenses. Past delegates have found that their schools are usually more than willing to support NESD. If accepted, we will assist you in securing funds from your school for travel and expenses.
To apply for the 2008 Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation, please complete the online application form below. We ask that you provide a resume as well as a one-page or longer essay on a topic in nuclear science or engineering that interests you or concerns you. Keep in mind that the topic should have some relevance to politics. Become very familiar with your topic as you may be the expert Delegate on that topic during the Delegation.
