ASNT Foundation Fellowship
Advancing research and innovation in nondestructive testing
Submit an ApplicationForm of Award
$20,000 in funding.
Recipients and non-recipients will be notified after the Awards Council evaluates all proposal submissions.
Funding begins in July. The funds are directed to the contracting office of the university or college department of the recipient for disbursal as described in the proposal.
Recognition of selected awardees are presented at the ASNT Annual Conference.
The Fellowship student recipient has the option to present their findings at an ASNT symposium, either virtually or in person, following the completion of the research. ASNT's Program Specialist will provide deadlines for presentation submission.
A paper on the completed research must be submitted to ASNT no later than 24 months after the start date indicated on the proposal. You will have the option to submit your paper to Materials Evaluation (ME) or Research in Nondestructive Evaluation (RNDE).
Eligibility
Academic institutions in the US with graduate educational research programs are eligible for the Fellowship Award. ASNT membership is not required for eligibility.

Scope of the proposed research effort
Potential for successful completion
Adequacy of the proposal team
Adequacy of the facilities
Application
The application should be in the form of a proposal for a graduate level research project from the university outlining what the program or graduate study activity will consist of and how long they will manage the Fellowship. All Fellowship proposals should be formatted as follows:
Length: The proposal, with all supporting materials, should not exceed 20 one-sided pages.
Title Page: Should list the title, school name, the faculty member(s) submitting the proposal, the name of the students, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. It should also specify the anticipated start date, estimated date of completion, and to whom the funds are to be disbursed.
Abstract: A brief executive summary of the nature and scope of the research to be performed.
Research Proposal: This should contain a detailed description of the graduate research project, indicating the objectives, planned approach, and expected results.
Program of Study: Provide a brief description of the actual or typical program of study of the student. A brief catalog description of the indicated courses is helpful.
Research Facilities: This should include a description of the research facilities, equipment, and other appropriate resources available for use on this project.
Budget: This should indicate the resources dedicated to the project. The proposed use of ASNT Fellowship funds should be indicated explicitly. None of the ASNT Fellowship funds can be used for overhead or indirect institution expenses.
