Established 2006
This scholarship is made in memory of Professor Kung Chie Yeh, who devoted his career to teaching and research in wave propagation and upper atmospheric physics and morphology.
The recipients must be juniors or seniors in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with an outstanding scholastic record. Preference is given to students with an interest in wave propagation and upper atmospheric physics.
In September the ECE Department distributes scholarship data forms to students in the top 15% of the junior class and the top 15% of the senior class. The Scholarship Committee then reviews the scholarship data forms and identifies the students to receive the award. Up to two students may be selected.
The scholarship carries a stipend of $3,000. The recipient is recognized at the annual ECE Awards Banquet in April.
