About The IEEE WIE International Scholarship

The IEEE Women in Engineering International Scholarship was established thanks to the support of donations to the IEEE Foundation Women in Engineering (WIE) Fund from IEEE WIE members and others. The scholarship is presented to up to one female IEEE WIE Student Member who has completed two years of undergraduate study in an engineering curriculum at an accredited university or college.

In celebration of the IEEE Foundation’s milestone 50th anniversary in February 2023 and a desire to lay the foundation for the future we envision, the IEEE Foundation has proudly expanded its four-pillars of impact to include a new, fifth pillar, “Future,” that includes IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE).

This scholarship is made possible by the IEEE WIE International Scholarship Fund of the IEEE Foundation.
