General
Two awards each year, (1) a research grant and (2) a travel grant, each
not to exceed $1,200.
Background
The Vehicular Technologies Conference ’98 generated a surplus, a portion of
which was given to IEEE Canada with the stipulation that the funds be
used for the benefit of students. IEEE Canada presented the first pair of
awards in 2003, then transfered the funds as a directed gift to the IEEE
Canadian Foundation to continue this annual award.
