Grainger Scholarships for Undergraduate Students

Recognizing that electric power systems are critical infrastructures for modern societies, The Grainger Foundation and the UW College of Engineering established merit-based Grainger Scholarships for undergraduates. This grant recognizes the strong power engineering research and education program in EE at the University of Washington. The goal of the Grainger Grant to to UW is to attract exceptional U.S. students to the exciting and challenging field of power engineering. Through these scholarships, EE expects to increase the number of graduates capable of having a significant impact of the power engineering industry in the future

A total of up to 2 Grainger Undergraduate Scholarships at $2,000 each will be awarded every quarter. In addition, the program provides travel grants for Grainger Scholars to attend technical conferences.
