to outstanding LEOS student members pursuing graduate education within the LEOS field of interest (electro-optics, lasers, photonics, optics, or closely related fields). Fellowship applicants must be an IEEE LEOS student member pursuing a graduate education within the LEOS field of interest. Students should normally be in their penultimate year of study at the time of application and be planning to submit their thesis on a timescale of 6 to 18 months after the application is submitted (i.e. those applying in May 2006 would normally expect to defend their thesis during 2007).

Up to twelve Fellowships of $5,000 each will be awarded every year. A travel grant of up to $2,500 towards travel and lodging expenses plus a complimentary conference registration, will be available to each Fellowship recipient to attend the LEOS Annual Meeting for the award presentation.
