What is the IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative?
The PES Scholarship Plus Initiative provides scholarships and real world experience to undergraduates who are interested in power and energy engineering careers. Our undergraduate scholarships aim to accomplish this goal by attracting highly qualified students to the field. These students are the very individuals who will one day develop new green technologies, build the smart grid and change the way we generate and utilize power.
The IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative supports these promising students through financial assistance in the increasingly expensive enterprise of undergraduate studies.
Changes effective 2025 – The IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative is proud to announce that a wider range of undergraduate students will now be eligible to apply to become PES Scholars.
Undergraduate students pursuing a degree that falls under one of the IEEE designated field of interest are eligible to apply. This includes-
Engineering, Computer Sciences and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, and Law and Policy.
The educational funding given to each PES Scholar has also increased, from up to $7,000 USD over three years to up to $10,000 USD.
These changes have become active with the 2025 Scholarship Plus Application opening.
