The A-SA AEE Student Scholarship Program is focused on the interests of the local AEE
chapter and is weighted to recognize a mixture of aspects including academic
performance, financial need, and extra-curricular activities. Candidates who are from the
Austin to San Antonio area and/or attending programs in the region will be advantaged
over candidates outside this area. Likewise, candidates in a degree program that is
focused specifically to energy management will receive additional consideration to those
that are in programs that are tangentially associated to the Chapter’s objectives.
In addition to consideration for the A-SA AEE Student Scholarship, all applicants will be
considered for nomination by the Chapter to the AEE Foundation Scholarship, which is
sponsored by the Association of Energy Engineers. The applicant is referred to
http://aeefoundation.org/scholarships/ for additional information on this scholarship.
The goals of the two scholarship programs are slightly different; therefore, receipt of an
award from A-SA AEE is not a prerequisite for nomination to the AEE Foundation
Scholarship. Once the attached application packet is submitted, no additional
information is required to be nominated for the AEE Foundation Scholarship.
