The IEEE Scholarships - Term 3 and Term 6
These two scholarships, valued at $1,000 each annually, are supported by a fund established by the members of the Newfoundland and Labrador section of the IEEE. The scholarships are awarded annually to one full-time undergraduate student in each of Terms 3 and 6 of either the Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering Programmes at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The recipients must be student members of the IEEE and possess scholarship standing as defined by the University. In addition to the students’ academic achievement, contributions to the IEEE student branch will be considered. The scholarships will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid upon recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, acting on the advice of the IEEE Newfoundland and Labrador Section.
IEEE Graduate Scholarship
The IEEE Newfoundland and Labrador Graduate Scholarship has been established to recognize Graduate Students at Memorial University that have achieved high academic standing and made contributions to the IEEE. The scholarship will be awarded annually in the Winter semester. The recipient will be awarded a scholarship of $1000 and presented with a certificate. Graduate students must be IEEE members and full-time graduate students at least one year into their program at Memorial University and be of high academic standing.

This scholarship can only be awarded once to a student during their program of study.
