Up to two prizes consisting of 5000 USD and a certificate for each recipient.

This award is funded by the IEEE Systems Council.

The award will be presented a conference sponsored by the IEEE Systems Council or one of the Council’s member societies.

Evaluations will be based on the application and stated financial need.

IEEE student members pursuing their first professional degree in engineering from an accredited university and a cumulative Grade Point Average GPA of 2.8 (out of 4) or above, or equivalent measure of academic performance where GPA is not utilized. No immediate family members of current members of the IEEE Board of Directors, the Systems Council Governing Board, the IEE Systems Council Scholarship Committee, or IEEE staff may be candidates, nominate, or endorse candidates for this Scholarship.
