ISA Scholarships are awarded to student members enrolled in a college or university who demonstrate outstanding potential for the fields of automation and control. The scholarship awards support tuition and related expenses and research activities and initiatives. ISA technical divisions award scholarships through endowments of generous gifts from supporters.
Recipients of awards are full-time college or university students in either a 2-year, 3- or 4-year Undergraduate or Graduate program with at least a passing average (“C”). Students should be enrolled in a full time program in automation and control or a closely related field in the next calendar year after the award is granted.
Each scholarship is a one-time payment and is not paid annually to the recipient. However, a previous recipient may apply for another scholarship award.
