National Physical Science Consortium

NPSC provides an important service to U. S. businesses, industries and laboratories by identifying tomorrow's most promising scientists and matching them with employers who support the student's doctoral training. During the two required summer internships, Fellows conduct research for their sponsoring employer. Some perform their Ph.D. research at their sponsor's facility. Several NPSC fellows have gone to work for their sponsor after the Ph.D.; NPSC has revised its program to increase the likelihood that this happens in the future.

Find out how your company can become an NPSC member and launch enduring, mutually beneficial relationships with the science scholars of tomorrow.

"NPSC betters the odds that Sandia National Laboratories will be able to hire the citizen-scientists, especially women and underrepresented minorities, that it wants and needs. NPSC allows Sandia the excellent opportunity to 'grow our own'."

— Norma Hibbs, Sandia National Laboratories

"My initial attraction to the NPSC was financial: Xerox could afford to sponsor more fellows because we didn't have to pay their tuition. That most are minorities or female or both iced the cake. The NPSC is an effective way to outsource fellowship program administration."

— Bill Skinner, formerly of Xerox Corporation
