Application for Supplemental Funding for ANS Female Student Members
to attend American Nuclear Society National Meetings
The Professional Women in the American Nuclear Society (PWANS) is committed to encouraging women to enter and
flourish in the field of nuclear science and technology. In fulfilling this commitment, PWANS awards supplemental funding
(up to a maximum of $550 per meeting) to current female student members in reimbursement of travel, hotel, and meal
expenses in attending the ANS Annual Meeting in June or the Winter Meeting in November. Awards may not be made in all
years, depending on the applications received and the availability of funds for any given year.
The application is for current student members of ANS only. Previous receipt of PWANS travel funding, though not a
disqualifying factor, will be taken into consideration.
