Description

It is intended to pay a major portion of the final year tuition fees and related academic expenses of a student who has demonstrated a previous commitment to the IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centre and related IEEE activities, and who indicates a desire to continue this activity. There are two scholarship values to acknowledge that engineering program fees are generally higher than those for technology programs.
