UW Energy Scholarships & Experiential Learning

Ellbogen Nuclear Research Center Fund Thanks to the generous support through the John P. Ellbogen Foundation Nuclear Energy Research Center Fund, we were able to hire qualified instructors to teach specialized courses on nuclear energy that are critical to our students’ academic and professional development. Without this funding, we simply would not have been able to oer these courses as part of our newly launched Nuclear Energy Science Certificates. Their contributions directly enabled students to stay on track with their credentials and gain the skills necessary to succeed in today’s competitive workforce.

Rocky Mountain Power Foundation: Stewardship Report and Proposal Students accepted into this fund will have the opportunity to participate in field trips, mentor shadowing days, and additional hands-on industry learning experiences. Students can participate in a Moab Field Study course, where they explore applied geology and examined the potential for long-term carbon dioxide storage in real geological formations on a five day course. This immersive experience connected classroom theory to field-based observation and analysis, strengthening students’ understanding of carbon management solutions. Additionally, students can travel to the annual NAPE Expo, providing direct exposure to the energy industry, professional networking opportunities, and insight into current market trends, technologies, and career pathways.
