IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Scholarship Plus Initiative
THE IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative provides multiyear scholarships and career experience opportunities to qualifying electrical engineering undergraduate students. As long as the scholar continues to meet renewal standards, he or she will receive up to three years of funding—$2,000 the first year, $2,000 the second year and $3,000 the third year—interspersed with up to two years of valuable, hands-on career experience.
Past Winners
"The IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative is one of the most recognized and sought-after programs, and I couldn’t be more proud of our three Power and Energy recipients,” noted Dr. Greg Reed. “All of our students who have applied for this scholarship since its inception have won, and so this is a testament to their academic excellence and research."
