Your partnership makes an impact in NPRE!

NPRE's mission is to provide our students with the best possible education in nuclear engineering, plasma/fusion technologies, and radiological sciences, while leading ground-breaking research in all of these disciplines. By investing in our vision, you can have an impact.

RETAIN AND RECRUIT TOP FACULTY FOR GREATER IMPACT AND VISIBILITY

The most notable scholars are celebrated with named faculty appointments recognizing excellence and prominence in research, teaching, and service. Named appointments signify a distinction beyond professorial rank. Chairs recognize and reward faculty who have an established reputation for innovation and impact. Professorships encourage exceptional new ideas and ambitious programs. The Scholars designation promotes rising stars. These individuals’ exceptional work translates into remarkable experiences for our students, as well as extraordinary science and discoveries.

CREATE OPPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS TO FLOURISH AND CONTRIBUTE

Fellowship support provides graduate students with the freedom to pursue, under their advisors’ directions, research programs that can expand and transform the current boundaries of NPRE disciplines. Graduate students are a precious resource in Illinois’ mission to accomplish the impossible.

GROW THE SIZE AND DIVERSITY OF OUR STUDENT BODY

Scholarships help attract young students skilled in mathematics and physics to consider NPRE’s disciplines for their lifelong career paths. Such resources play a valuable role in recruiting the brightest minds and creating a diverse student population.

ENHANCE EXTRACURRICULARS TO PROMOTE LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Undergraduate students gain invaluable lessons through educational extracurricular experiences happening outside the classroom, including participation in faculty research, study abroad programs, and travel to conferences. Unrestricted resources help NPRE to achieve our goal of making these opportunities available for 100 percent of our undergraduates.

PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES FOR UNSURPASSED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES

Educational facilities – from equipment for new nuclear materials and radiation measurements instructional labs, to large new monitors through which students easily work with one another on projects – are key in creating hands-on, collaborative opportunities that go beyond textbook learning. Such tangible examples of donor impact vastly enhance our students’ experiences.
