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.
What’s New for 2025
We’re excited to announce two major updates for the 2025 application cycle:
- Expanded Eligibility: The scholarship is no longer limited to just engineering. If your degree is in Computer Science, Physical Sciences, Mathematics, or even Law and Policy related to the energy sector, you may now be eligible to apply!
- Increased Funding: The total financial award for each PES Scholar has been increased to $10,000 over the three year period.
