Amentum Establishes the Leo H. Sain Memorial Scholarship at USCA

Aiken, SC (10/13/2021) — During the Citizen's for Nuclear Technology Awareness (CNTA) breakfast on Wednesday, October 13, Tom Foster (Chief Operating Officer of Amentum's Nuclear & Environment business) presented a gift to establish a scholarship at the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA) in memory of Mr. Leo H. Sain.

Mr. Sain was a leader in the nuclear industry, and his career took many paths. He served as President of Washington Safety Management Solutions, President of Washington Savannah River Company, CEO/President of UCOR, and D&D/Waste Management Sector lead within Nuclear & Environment for Amentum.

"As a mentor to many of the nuclear industry's current leaders, it is befitting that Amentum starts the first mechanical engineering scholarship in honor and memory of Leo," stated Tom Foster, from Amentum's Nuclear & Environment business. Dr. Heimmermann, chancellor at USCA, added, "This generous donation from Amentum will benefit engineering students for future generations."
