2015-16 Schweitzer Meritorious Scholars

Becoming a PES Scholar has allowed me to further my studies and has encouraged me to get even more involved in power engineering. This scholarship and distinction has given me the confidence to pursue these opportunities and has helped me achieve my professional goals much quicker than I had antici-pated. Dayna Herling—Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

How has receiving this scholarship impacted

these students? Being a PES Scholar has opened the door to a very impacting opportunity. I was given the

chance to become a member of the PES Mentorship program. Because of the advice I have had from my mentor from our chats I am leaning more and more towards pursuing a career in power engineering. My mentor has allowed me to see firsthand how well his quality of life is from pursuing a career in this field, and I, in turn, wish to achieve a similar life and goals. Zachary (Auburn University)

The PES scholarship not only has given me more access to the industry but has also facilitated

career opportunities. Adam (Colorado School of Mines) I find I have been taught very little of the industry I want to enter but the IEEE PES Scholarship

Plus Initiative fills in this educational gap. Being named a PES Scholar is a stepping-stone in my path to a career in the power industry. The resources I now have access to and connections that this program will allow me to make are absolutely invaluable. Steven (Drexel University)

I came into engineering very shaky on whether or not I could handle it or even be good at it.

Being named a PES scholar has helped validate my choice to pursue this career and given me the confidence I need to finish out my degree. Melissa (Northeastern University)

Receiving the IEEE PES Scholarship has been wonderful. It has relieved some financial pres-

sure, which has allowed me to work less and focus more on my studies. I have also benefited from the additional resources associated with the scholarship, including the mentorship pro-gram. This is truly an excellent opportunity, and I have recommended it, along with the power industry, to many of my classmates. Thank you IEEE PES! Sean (Portland State University)

Being a PES Scholar means that I could afford school this semester without getting a part-time

job, so that I had time to focus on my seven electrical engineering courses! Being a PES Scholar means that I have access to mentors in the power industry who can give me career advice! Being a PES Scholar means that I got my dream internship at my city's power company where I'd like to work after graduation! Mary (Ohio State University)

Ryan Helsdingen (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign); Connie Maluwelmeng (Iowa State University); Dutch Malott (Ohio Northern University); Kelli Fuchs (University of Minnesota -Duluth)


How has receiving this scholarship impacted

these students?

Being elected as a PES Scholar has been one of the single greatest positive influences on me as an under-graduate. Through the financial support and encouragement of this program, I have been able to participate in meaningful research and internship experiences while in school. Kenny (University of Arkansas, Fayetteville)

Being named a PES Scholar has presented me an

opportunity to grow and learn more about the power industry. The scholarship has helped me tremendously to maintain my focus on schoolwork rather than paying for college. The mentorship program has been an invaluable asset to my future career. Through the PES scholarship program I was paired with an extremely knowledgeable industry representative in the field that I am most interested in pursuing as a career. I can not express the value of this connection with my mentor. Overall, this scholarship has provided an opportunity to understand more about careers in power and energy and hone in on my interests through studies and discourse with my men-tor. Austin (University of Denver)

Being in the PES program has given me opportunities to

connect with professors and professionals. I know that at least one offer for an internship has come specifically from this scholarship and that it will carry weight as I continue to apply for scholarships and employment. Amanda (University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign)

Being a PES Scholar gives validation to all the work I've

done throughout college towards getting an EE degree. The reason I decided to be an EE was because of the information I had heard about the power and energy industry and it intrigued me. Receiving this scholarship makes me feel like I've accomplished what I set out to do when I first started college. Nathan (University of Kentucky)

Being named an IEEE PES Scholar has motivated and in-

spired me to complete an electrical engineering degree in the area of academic emphasis in power and energy engineering. I am glad to be part of the world’s largest forum for sharing the latest in the techno-logical developments in the power and energy industry. Travis (University of Missouri—St. Louis)

Being name a PES scholar was the highest honor I could have received. Through winning this scholarship, I

have truly been able to launch my budding career in the power industry. Now I work as a Power Systems Experience Center Engineer. Ben (Wentworth Institute of Technology)
