Both Stan Phillips of Georgia Tech and Melanie Raine of University of Paris-Sud were presented with the Phelps Grant. The grant included tuition for the short course and a check for $500.

The purpose of the Phelps Grant is to promote continuing education and encourage membership in the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS).

The basis for judging is exceptional promise as a Graduate Student in any of the fields of the NPSS, exceptionally good work in those fields for currently unemployed NPSS members, and an expectation that attendance at the Short Course will improve chance of obtaining a job in the NPSS fields.

Professors should consider nominating their most promising students before January 31, 2012. Forms can be found on the NSREC web site http://www.nsrec.com/phelpsgrant.pdf or http://www.nsrec.com/phelpsgrant.doc.
