Oakley Scholarship in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Established 1995
The Oakley Family of Quincy, Ill., set up these scholarships in 1994 under the suggestion of Prof. Burks Oakley, II, who at the time was the Undergraduate Adviser in the Department. In his position as adviser, Dr. Oakley came in contact with many outstanding undergraduate students. All merit scholarships in the Department were earmarked for Juniors or Seniors. The Oakley family established these scholarships to honor sophomores that had shown outstanding academic merit and leadership.
Description:
These scholarships were established to recognize and reward outstanding sophomores in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department who have been active in outside activities. Preference is to be given to female students in order to encourage more women to pursue a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Requirements:
- You must be a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, enrolled in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
- The recipients shall have a high scholastic average.
- The recipients shall be sophomores in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
- The recipients shall have participated in technical and professional societies as well as other campus and community activities.
Selection Process:
In September of each year, a list is compiled of the top women in the sophomore class. Each of these students is sent an application form for the Oakley Scholarship. The Department Scholarship and Awards Committee makes the final decision on scholarship recipients.
Award:
The recipient(s) will be recognized at the annual spring ECE Awards and Recognition Banquet.
