Recognizing IPC Scholarships, Awards, and Opportunities
May 21, 2025 | Charlene Gunter du Plessis, IPC Education FoundationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.

The IPC Education Foundation awarded 45 IPC Student Members with an IPC Student Member Scholarship at $1,000 each. The scholarship recipients are members at the following IPC Student Chapters: 36 from Auburn University; two from Purdue University; and one each from Binghamton University, California Polytechnic State University, Central Carolina Community College, Michigan Tech University, University of California-Irvine, University of Maryland, College Park, and University of Utah.
