Fuel Our Future.
As a brand-new design club, QNET relies on industry partners to fund our projects, educate our members, and build the next generation of nuclear engineers.
Why Sponsor Us?
QNET is entirely student-driven. By sponsoring our 2026-2027 year, you directly support hands-on learning while gaining exclusive access to the university's top engineering talent.
Invest in the Future
You are investing in a club that aims to educate aspiring undergraduates about nuclear concepts and the industry. By providing early, direct exposure, we are building a more accessible path into the field, increasing the supply of skilled, industry-ready nuclear engineers.
Inaugural Partner Status
As an inaugural partner, you have unique, early opportunities to shape our club's direction, host recruiting events, and gain direct access to member resumes before they hit the open job market.
Fund QNET School
You fund QNET School, a specialized onboarding program where your brand gains exclusive early exposure to high-potential students through integrated curriculum, site tours, and industry guest lectures.
Part of it powers QNET School.
QNET isn't eligible for direct funding from Queen's University until one year after ratification, so we rely directly on sponsorship to operate. A portion of every contribution goes directly into QNET School, our hands-on nuclear engineering education program for new members. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Explore QNET School →Funding the $100 - $500 cash prize for QNET School's Capstone Design Contest to secure student commitment.
Covers QNET School's safety, travel, and access fees to off-campus facilities including Port Hope and the RMTL.
Provides Coursera certifications through QNET School, so students finish with actual, resume-ready credentials.
Facilitates QNET School's guest lecture logistics, bringing in active nuclear professionals and Queen's Alumni from the CNSC, OPG, and CNL.
Sponsors components for QNET School projects such as cloud chambers and Geiger counters for real-time radiation mapping.
And part of it builds our projects.
The rest of your sponsorship goes straight into our flagship project builds: the reactors, rovers, and detectors our members design and assemble by hand. Every project is costed under a minimum budget for technical success and an ideal budget to bring our ideas fully to life.
Nuclear Cleanup Rover
A remote-control handling platform designed to replace human intervention during hazardous nuclear operations.
Est. $1,060 – $1,385
SMR Cooling System
A working cooling system modeled after Small Modular Reactor cycles, complete with a cooling tower.
Est. $800 – $1,000
Gamma Ray Imaging
A scaled-down, low-cost medical imaging prototype based on the mechanisms of a PET scan.
Est. $822 – $1,242

Ways to Sponsor QNET
Direct funding is the most flexible way to help, but it isn't the only one. Every contribution moves our projects and QNET School forward.
01 · Direct Funding
The most flexible way to help. Money goes straight into projects and QNET School, tracked with a transparent budget so you can see exactly where each dollar goes.
02 · Components & Equipment
Providing parts or discounts moves our projects forward, from electronic components to structural materials.
03 · Software & Tools
Providing licenses to software that a new club can't easily afford or access.

Where Your Money Goes
Every dollar is tracked and tied to a tangible outcome. Any funding received is tracked and shared with all sponsors at the end of the year, or whenever requested.
Project Builds
$800 – $1,385 / build
The majority of funding covers the material cost of builds like the Rover, SMR Cooling System, and Gamma Ray Imaging projects. Any surplus expands project scope and capabilities.
QNET School
Budget in progress
Onboarding project materials, recruitment, field trips, specialized software licenses (MCNP, PCTRAN), certification seats for members, and hosting industry guest speakers.
Capstone Contest
$100 – $500
Sponsors can back the capstone prize pool: the incentive that keeps members engaged as groups of 3–5 develop and pitch a real-world nuclear project to a panel of judges.
All sponsors receive an end-of-year Impact Report detailing how their funding was spent, the milestones it reached, and the impact it made, from projects built and skills gained to students placed on a path into the nuclear industry.
End of Year Demonstration
At the end of March 2027, all sponsors will be invited to attend our final project demonstration at Mitchell Hall (69 Union St), where teams will present the project builds, research papers, and technical work developed throughout the school year. This allows sponsors to connect with students and see their support come to life.
