  • Recipients may use the title, “AIST Foundation Steel Professor.”as appropriate.

  • Continue the momentum of the KDP JFA by fostering steel industry interest and AIST Foundation promotion at his or her university through “Steel Day” events, plant tours, research projects, etc.

  • Recipients should encourage students to apply for AIST Foundation Scholarships and Internships. A target of five (5) qualified student applications from each university for the AIST Foundation Steel Intern Scholarship program is desired. The professor securing the most qualified student applications over the target in the given year will receive an additional $5,000.

  • Encourage students to attend AIST programs such as AISTech, MS&T, training conferences and chapter meetings.

  • Attend one UIRR meeting annually.

  • Provide guidance to the KDP JFA selection committee and potential applicants as requested
