NSREC
AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE
 

IEEE/NPSS PHELPS AWARD

At the opening of the NSREC technical sessions (July 2008), both Xiao Jie Chen of Arizona State University and Oluwole Amusan of Vanderbilt University 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 working in the fields of the NPSS, "exceptionally good work" in those fields, and an expectation that attendance at an NPSS-sponsored short course will result in an improved possibility of obtaining a job.

Professors should consider nominating their most promising students before January 31, 2009. Forms can be found on the NSREC web site http://www.nsrec.com/phelpsgrant.pdf or http://www.nsrec.com/phelpsgrant.doc.
