Optics and Photonics Education Scholarship Application (OPEN)

Deadline: 15 February

The Optics and Photonics Education Scholarships are available to students

located anywhere in the world, in high school (pre-university/secondary),
undergraduate and graduate programs, who are studying in a related field of
optics and photonics.

The Education Scholarship award amounts range from $2,500 to $11,000

and typically support tuition, books, research activities, and other education-
related expenses.

Evaluation Criteria

The key criterion in evaluating and ranking applications is the "prospect for
long-term contribution that the granting of an award will make to the field of
optics, photonics or related field." Need, in and of itself, shall not be
considered as a criterion.

All scholarship applications are judged on their own merit, based on the
experience and education level of the individual student. High school (pre-
university, secondary school), undergraduate, and graduate students will be
judged relative to other applicants with similar educational backgrounds.

Thank you,

The SPIE Scholarship Committee Team
