The Student Scholarship Program

The NCAC strongly encourages students' participation in NCAC and USAEE events. To further this goal the NCAC is providing grants to DC area students participating as a presenter or organizer. Currently the NCAC council has approved funds to award up to four grants. If more than four grants applications are received, the NCAC council will consider increasing the number of grants provided.

The council will contact selected students to notify them of the award. After receiving notification, the student must register for the conference (pay the full conference fee), and then forward the registration confirmation email to Omar Cabrales at treasurer@ncac-usaee.org. Omar will then mail checks to the selected students.
