IEEE Canadian Foundation
Information for Sections and Councils in Canada

The foundation asks all sections to help us publicize our activities to student branches in the following ways:

  • Place a link on your section website to www.ieeecanadianfoundation.org
  • Ask your student leaders to add this link to their branch web sites.
  • Ask your student leaders to use our web site to update information about their branch using our on-line form.
  • Remind your student leaders that we fund:
    • IEEE Canadian Foundation Scholarships - up to 10 per year,
    • IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centres - to establish, or upgrade, and
    • IEEE Special Grants - for special projects.
Section Chairs
  • Please frame and present the certificate to the Scholarship holder within your section at a suitable IEEE (Section or Branch) Meeting.
  • Promote the giving of donations to our foundation (tax receipts issued) in your newsletters.
  • We have a PowerPoint presentation on our website to provide an introduction to our foundation. Please view our website at your next Section executive meeting so you are familiar with who we are and what we do.

In 2001, the IEEE Canadian Foundation awarded $71,000 in grants and scholarships.

The IEEE Canadian Foundation promotes active student branches, rewards IEEE student volunteer efforts with individual scholarships and funding for interesting projects, and adds value to the IEEE experience.

These activities promote IEEE memberrship. We hope you will make our activities an integral part of your Section membership development program.

Please let us know how we can improve what we do. If you have any questions about the IEEE Canadian Foundation, please contact:
