The 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.
The fellowship is awarded annually
to a first year*, full-time graduate
student obtaining their Masters for work in the
area of electrical engineering, at an
engineering school/program of recognized
standing worldwide. The award carries a
stipend of $10,000 per year. This
fellowship could be renewable 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.
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. These fellowships 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 in the academic year in order for
the recipient to continue under the fellowship.
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.
The complete application must reach
the IEEE no later than 15 November;
letters of recommendation must also arrive by
this same date.
* 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.
