WINDPOWER Scholarships

From Wind Energy Weekly, 2009 January 30:

AWEA Education Scholarship Fund

For the third year in a row, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is offering scholarship opportunities through its Educational Scholarship Program.

AWEA is now accepting applications for those interested in attending the WINDPOWER 2009 Conference & Exhibition in Chicago, May 4-7, 2009. In cooperation with the generous support of Suzlon Wind Energy, the AWEA Educational Scholarship Program aims to provide educational scholarships for those interested in enhancing their knowledge of the wind industry.

The deadline for submitting an application for WINDPOWER 2009 Conference & Exhibition is February 20, 2009, and notification will occur by April 1, 2009.

Please review the scholarship program information, including eligibility and application requirements by visiting http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=859124890&msgid=4124680&act=P1AX&c=26095&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.awea.org%2Feducation%2Fscholarships BEFORE completing the Scholarship Application.


Eligibility and Criteria

The award will be available to anyone interested in enhancing his or her knowledge of the wind industry. Top priority will be extended to any current full-time student, faculty, staff or K-12 professional studying or interested in furthering their knowledge of Wind Energy as a premier energy source.

Additionally, secondary priority will be extended to applicants already involved in the field of Renewable Energy, Engineering and or the Technology profession interested in gaining further knowledge of Wind Energy.

We regret to inform that the scholarship program does not accept high schools student applicants, or any grade levels below. We encourage those students who wish to apply and are at that level, to keep the scholarship in mind for the future.

Volunteering Opportunity

Due to a high volume of applicants and a limited amount of scholarships, we encourage all scholarship applicants to simultaneously apply to volunteer at the WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition. This is a wonderful way of attending for free in exchange of working during the conference, if an applicant does not receive a scholarship. Applying for the volunteer positions will not affect your scholarship application.
