The IEEE Canadian Foundation annually sponsors a number of scholarships.
Currently, the value of each is either $3500 or $1750.
Note Nominations must be complete and received by the posted
deadline in order to be considered.
Description
This scholarship is called the IEEE Canadian Foundation Scholarship. The
scholarship is intended to encourage awareness of and participation in
the educational programs supported by the IEEE. It is intended to pay a
major portion of the final year tuition fees and related academic
expenses of a student who has demonstrated a previous commitment to the
IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centre and related IEEE activities,
and who indicates a desire to continue this activity. There are two
scholarship values to acknowledge that engineering program fees are
generally higher than those for technology programs.
Expected Goals
Within the limitations imposed by course work, the Scholarship holder
is expected to work closely with the IEEE Student Branch executive, and
to be active in the IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centre.
Eligibility
All student members of the IEEE who are registered in their penultimate
year and have been active in the Centre for a minimum of one year are eligible.
Selection of Nominee
The Branch Counselor, (preferably in consultation with the Section Chair,)
will determine the nominee, based on their knowledge of the eligible
candidates' activities in the IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centre and
the IEEE Student Branch. To aid in this process the Branch Counselor may
request that candidates prepare a report on their activities (see next section)
which the sucessful candidate will submit to the foundation (using the online
report form). Once the nominee is determined, the Branch Counselor will submit an
online nomination form.
Report on Activities
The nominee will submit a report detailing past and planned IEEE and
Centre activities. It is strongly suggested that the nominee reads the
on-line form beforehand very carefully and makes sure to include all the
information requested.
Submission
The counselor nomination and the student report must be submitted on-line
using the "grant applications" link on the left side of this page
by March 15.
