Duke Energy, through the Duke Energy Foundation, has announced a $150,000 grant to South Carolina State University for student scholarships to help create a diverse pipeline of talent for the nuclear workforce of the 21st century. The grant is being used to provide scholarships to 15 nuclear engineering students over a three-year period in the university's nuclear engineering program. "We are very proud of our nuclear engineering program, which is the only undergraduate program of its kind in South Carolina," said Alexander Conyers, SCSU's interim president. SCSU's nuclear engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. It is the only bachelor's degree program in nuclear engineering at a historically black university. The nuclear engineering curriculum at SCSU is offered in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and North Carolina State University-Raleigh.
