National Undergraduate Fellowships in Plasma Physics & Fusion Engineering

June 19 - August 25, 1995

The National Undergraduate Fellowships in Plasma Physics and Fusion
Engineering provide outstanding undergraduates with an opportunity to
participate in projects in the forefront of research and development of
fusion energy. The goal of the program is to stimulate students' interest
in the fields relevant to fusion research while providing capable
assistants for fusion research projects. The fellowships are sponsored by
the U.S. Department of Energy and administered by the Princeton Plasma
Physics Laboratory, in cooperation with the University Fusion Association.
The fellowship program consists of two-parts: a one-week introductory
course and nine weeks of research. During the first week students will
attend the introductory course at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
in Princeton, NJ. They then participate in research at one of several
fusion laboratories around the country. These laboratories and
universities include Auburn, Cal. Tech., Columbia, General Atomics (San
Diego), Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Florida State University, M.I.T., Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Univ. of
Cal.-Davis, U. of Texas-Austin, Univ. of Wisconsin, and others.

Stipend

Students will receive a stipend of $4,800 and will be reimbursed for
travel expenses to and from their university or permanent U.S. address, up
to $1,000. Room expenses and some meals during the one-week course at
Princeton will be paid by the program. Students will be responsible for
their housing and meal expenses during the remaining nine weeks.

Admission

Applications are invited from students in engineering, mathematics,
computer science, or physics, who are matriculated at a U. S. college or
university. The program is open to undergraduates who are currently in
their junior year, however exceptional sophomores will also be considered.
Students should have taken at least one course in electricity and magnetism
beyond introductory physics.
