- Student must be a student member of IEEE at the time of application and provide their IEEE membership number by April 17, 2017
- Student must provide by April 17, 2017 confirmation of being with an accredited, degree-program educational institution

- Grant awardees will receive instructions regarding how to submit original receipts for registration fees, airfare, hotel costs, etc. If the Awardee completes the expense reimbursement and provides all necessary receipts onsite, a check for the grant amount will be provided at that time.
