Abstract :
IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Scholarship Plus Initiative encourages students to pursue a career in the power and energy fields by providing multiyear scholarships and career experience opportunities to qualifying U.S. and Canadian electrical engineering undergraduate students. The goal is to increase the number of wellqualified, entry-level engineers in the power and energy industry. Scholars receive up to three years (US$7,000) of funding interspersed with up to two years of valuable, hands-on career experience. Since 2011, the program has supported a total of 265 scholars attending 109 universities, including Ivy League colleges, flagship state universities, and prestigious engineering colleges across the United States. The list of 2013 scholarship recipients will be announced in October.
