The P.O. Pistilli Undergraduate Scholarship for Advancement in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering

The P.O. Pistilli Scholarship is funded by the Design Automation Conference and it is directed by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA). 

The objective of the scholarship is to increase the pool of professionals in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science from under-represented groups (female, African-American, Hispanic, Native American, and disabled students). 

Scholarships of $4000 per year, renewable for up to 5 years, are awarded annually to 2-7 high school seniors from the above-mentioned under-represented groups who have a 3.00 GPA or better (on a 4.00 scale), have demonstrated high achievement in math and science courses, have expressed a strong desire to pursue careers in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, and who have demonstrated substantial financial need. 

U.S. citizenship is not required, but applicants must be U.S. residents when they apply, and must plan to attend an accredited US college or university.
