2013 IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative: Application Now Open

We launched the IEEE Power & Energy Society Scholarship Plus Initiative™ in response to the looming workforce shortfall in the power and energy industry. Over the past two years, we've distributed over $642,000 in scholarships to 265 students from 109 U.S. universities. This year, we want to have 700 applications in order to distribute more than 400 scholarships to electrical engineering students in the United States.

Our goal is simple: we want to increase the number of well-qualified, entry-level engineers.
