Award
information
The
IEEE Life Members Graduate Study Fellowship in Electrical Engineering was
established by the IEEE Board of Directors in February 2000. The fellowship is
administered by the IEEE Awards Board and is financed by the IEEE Life Members
Fund.
Eligibility:
The fellowship is awarded annually to a first year, full-time graduate student
for work in the area of electrical engineering at an engineering school/program
of recognized standing worldwide. In the event the college is conducting a
combined B.S. and M.S. degree program, the student in the penultimate year
would be eligible for the award which would apply in the final year of the
program.
Prize:
The award carries a stipend of US$10,000 per year. The stipend will be paid
directly to the college/university at which the recipient will pursue full-time
graduate study. The college/university will be asked to disburse the funds on
behalf of the recipient. However, any unused portion can be returned to the
recipient along with the necessary documentation for tax-reporting purposes.
This
fellowship could be renewed for a second year, based on the recipient's
satisfactory progress in the graduate program. Therefore, two overlapping
fellowships could be awarded in a given year. The recipient will be notified by
mid February.
Criteria:
To be eligible, the applicant must have majored in the field of electrical
engineering and have received a Bachelor's Degree from an engineering college
of recognized standing worldwide.
The
recipient of this fellowship may hold or receive other fellowships for the same
academic year. Earnings for work which is directly related to the graduate
study is also allowed. This fellowship may be supplemented by the graduate
institution with other fellowship, assistantship, or tuition scholarship
support in accordance with their internal guidelines for total support. The
recipient must pursue full-time graduate work in electrical engineering.
Evidence of satisfactory academic performance is required midway through the
academic year in order for the recipient to continue under the fellowship.
Nomination
submission: Applicants are required to submit certified transcripts from all
colleges/universities attended. Three letters of recommendation from
college/university professors who are familiar with the applicant's work also
are required.
Certified
transcripts should be sent to:
