IEEE Charles LeGeyt Fortescue Scholarship
About the Award
The Charles LeGeyt Fortescue Scholarship was established in 1939 as a memorial to Charles LeGeyt in recognition of his valuable contributions to the field of electrical engineering.
The scholarship carries a stipend of up to US$24,000 and is awarded for one year of full-time graduate work obtaining their Masters in electrical engineering at an engineering school of recognized standing located in the United States. This scholarship is awarded annually.
To be eligible, the student must be a permanent resident of the United States and have majored in the field of electrical engineering and have received a Bachelor's Degree from an engineering college of recognized standing. The Scholarship will be awarded to a first-year full time graduate student only.*
The recipient of this scholarship may hold or receive other scholarships for the same academic year. Earnings for work which is directly related to the graduate study is also allowed. These scholarships may be supplemented by the graduate institution with other scholarship, assistantship or tuition scholarship support in accordance with their internal guidelines for total support. The recipient must pursue full-time graduate work in electrical engineering.
The award was discontinued in November 2015 and transferred to the IEEE Education Activities Board.
