AP-S Doctoral and Eugene F. Knott Memorial Pre-Doctoral Research Grants

The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society offers grants to support students pursuing research in electromagnetics. Up to six pre-doctoral grants of $3,500 and ten doctoral grants of $5,000 are available annually. Applicants must be endorsed by an IEEE AP-S faculty member and demonstrate a commitment to electromagnetics research. The pre-doctoral grant honors Eugene F. Knott, recognizing his contributions to the field. This funding fosters academic growth and encourages future careers in electromagnetics.

The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) awards up to six $3,500 pre-doctoral grants and up to ten $5,000 doctoral grants each year to encourage students to pursue careers in the area of electromagnetics.
The pre-doctoral grant honors the memory of Eugene F. Knott, who was a distinguished researcher and contributor to the Society. The grants are intended to support students involved in research directed by an IEEE AP-S faculty member at their institution.

Eligibility

To be eligible, each applicant:must show strong interest in a career in the area of electromagnetics.must have the endorsement of a university/college faculty member at the student’s institution who is a member of the IEEE AP-S. must intend to work on a research project of at least one year in length that falls within the field of interest of the IEEE AP-S. The project may be started before the grant recipients are announced but must end before the student’s current degree requirements are completed. may only receive one grant of each type.Pre-Doctoral Applicants:must have completed or be enrolled in at least one electromagnetics course at the time of application.must be an undergraduate (3-5 year program) or master’s student enrolled in electrical engineering or a related field at an accredited institution of higher learning and during the execution of the research associated with the grant.Doctoral Applicants:must be pursuing a PhD degree in electrical engineering or a related field at an accredited institution of higher learning.must have completed or be enrolled in at least one electromagnetics course at the time of application or else have a Master’s degree or equivalent in an electromagnetics-related field.must be a member of the IEEE AP-S at the time of application.may have previously received a Pre-Doctoral grant.An advisor may endorse one pre-doctoral applicant and one doctoral applicant per competition attending their institution.
