NanoTrasen Academy

The Nanotrasen Academy is a state of the art corporate training centre and recognised University based within District 12 or the 'Xavier District' of Mendell City located in Biesel with a sister facility - The Nanotrasen High Academy - located on the NTCC Odin within the "Archway" district. The Academy provides training and diplomas for work across all levels of Nanotrasen's corporate structure; from Assistant to Executive Management, the centre provides qualifications for all. The High Academy facility based on the Odin is a smaller and much more elite place of learning with only those with exceptional skills, recommendations and references being given admittance. Students and trainees based within the The Nanotrasen Academy are provided with subsidised shared accommodation in which groups of students share a series of dormitories. The High Academy students are provided with free apartments within the "Archway" district of the NTCC Odin and given free access to the prestigious "Academy Canteen and Bar" where they can purchase subsidised food and drinks.

The Miranda Trasen Scholarship
"The Miranda Trasen Scholarship" allows students to attend the Nanotrasen Academy for free and is therefore largly an award granted to prospective students who wish to enter the Academy but cannot afford to do so. It requires three written recommendations and references from Command Staff tier or above and allows for employees at the lower rungs of the companys employ to study and enter into relevant fields across Nanotrasen. The most common use of this scholarship is to allow Assistants from poorer backgrounds who have the potential to contribute greatly to the company a chance to study into a higher tier field - be it medical, security, engineering or science - which they would normally be unable to afford. The staff members who provide the recommendations and references are held responsible for any time wasters or drop outs who "waste" the scholarship, usually being fined for the credits wasted on the individual. These fines can enter into the hundreds of thousands of credits however the cost of the fine is shared over the three recommendees. Due to this, Miranda Trasen Scholarships are given out sparingly.
