The ASNT Foundation provides the essential resources to support and inspire future generations of NDT professionals through scholarships, grants, research, and workforce development.
Together, we’re advancing the field of nondestructive testing—and creating a safer world.
When performed with precision and expertise, nondestructive testing (NDT) is largely invisible to the general public. By securing the safety and reliability of the structures and systems that shape our daily lives, NDT professionals ensure trust and confidence across industries, infrastructure, and organizations—often without recognition.
The ASNT Foundation aims for a higher vision: to advance the field of nondestructive testing through research, scholarship, and workforce development.
Founded in 2022, the ASNT Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). As a not-for-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization, we rely on the generosity of our industry partners and individuals who understand the importance of NDT and its role in creating a safer world.
NDT touches nearly every facet of modern life. While NDT is crucial to the safety of our day-to-day lives, it is an underrepresented field. To achieve our mission, the ASNT Foundation strives to inspire and equip the next generation of NDT professionals by providing necessary resources for educators, students, and researchers.
Explore our resources that provide students and teachers with valuable tools and experiences.
