There was no better way to end our year in 2024 than by recognizing hard-working and driven students and educators for their involvement and interests in the electronics manufacturing industry. Through the IPC Scholarship and Awards program, we can help students invest in their future and reward their hardworking and dedicated accomplishments.
Scholarships are hugely important because they help students avoid and alleviate college debt and provide professional growth opportunities. In 2024, the IPC Education Foundation awarded more than $172,000 to deserving high school students, college/university students, student leaders, and educators.
