ISEN supports this endeavor by awarding grants. Since ISEN's inception, it has offered approximately 225 awards in areas including, but not limited to: advocacy, carbon capture & sequestration, climate, energy efficiency, nuclear, energy policy, recycling, solar, storage, sustainability, and transportation. Please read the guidelines for applying to an ISEN faculty, equipment or student award. This information can be found in this section of ISEN’s web site, along with criteria and deadlines.
