The Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, publisher of the prestigious Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for the Leonard Rieser Fellowship in Science, Technology, and Global Security for the 2003-2004 academic year. The Fellowship, inaugurated three years ago, honors Leonard M. Rieser (1922-98), an accomplished physicist, activist for the peaceful resolution of conflict, and professor emeritus of Dartmouth University, who was deeply committed to investing in the ideas and the potential of young people.

The Rieser Fellowship, which each year awards a limited number of $2,500-$5,000 scholarships, is intended to help undergraduate students—especially those majoring in a scientific field—explore emerging or critical issues at the juncture of science, global security, and public policy. It is presented annually to students whose academic interests, extra-curricular activities, and career aspirations demonstrate an interest in the role of scientists in formulating public policy and in addressing global security challenges.

For additional details and the application for the fellowship, please visit the fellowship web page: www.thebulletin.org/fellow/

All applications must be received by March 7, 2005.

Winners will be announced in the July/August issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and on our website.
