Omron Electrical Engineering Scholarships

Established 1989

Description:

Omron Electronics, Inc. set up this scholarship in the College of Engineering to help encourage outstanding students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering who have demonstrated an interest in electronics.

Requirements:

  1. The recipient must be a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, enrolled in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
  2. The recipient must be a junior or senior majoring in Electrical Engineering with an interest in the field of electronics.
  3. The recipient must have a demonstrated scholastic excellence.
  4. Financial need should also be considered, but not as the major factor.

Selection Process:

In September the Department distributes scholarship data forms to students in the top 10% of the Junior Class and the top 10% of the Senior Class. The Scholarship Committee then reviews the scholarship data forms and identifies the students to receive the award. The award is to be renewed annually, providing the recipients continue to meet the scholarship criteria established by the College of Engineering.

Award:

The recipients receive $3,000 scholarships and are recognized at the annual ECE Awards Banquet in the spring.
