In addition, travel expenses are reimbursed for recipients to travel to an MTT-S-sponsored conference up to $1000 (USD) per awardee. Requirements. Applicants must be an undergraduate student in electrical engineering (or related field) at the time of application, but may be enrolled in his/her final year of the undergraduate program, first year of graduate studies, or combined B.S./M.S. program during the academic year for which the scholarship is awarded. Selection criteria include academic performance, a proposal for project work and career goals in the microwave/RF area and a faculty mentor recommendation.
