IEEE Student Enterprise Award

Have an idea for a project but need financial help implementing it? Simply get together with your fellow IEEE Student Branch members and submit your idea as a proposal in the IEEE Student Enterprise Award.  The objective of the competition is to provide the opportunity for IEEE Student members to work with others on an engineering project, while simultaneously strengthening Student Branch programs. Topics may be of a technical or non-technical nature ranging from research on state-of-the-art technology to community service programs.

 Funding for the project up to USD$1,500.

 IEEE Student members of the Student Branch

 A judging committee of Student Activities Committee (SAC) members will evaluate each proposal based on established criteria (DOC, 40 KB) and rules.

1. Each Student Branch may submit only one proposal a year.
2. Proposals must be in English.
3. Goals must be stated in the proposal and evidence must be given to indicate that a number of Branch members will be involved.
4. Proposals are to be a maximum of six pages in length.
5. Submit proposals as a word and PDF document to student-services@ieee.org.  The proposal must be sent to IEEE Student Services no later than 15 November.
6. Winning Branches are required to submit brief progress reports as requested in addition to an interim and a final report

Late submissions can be disqualified or penalized at the reviewer's discretion.
