The award is a $2,500 ($1,250 per Spring/Fall semester) scholarship to an undergraduate student who may wish to study and become part of the power and energy field.

An eligible nominee must be an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics and statistics, chemistry and biochemistry, geological sciences, or physics.
