36th Annual Meeting Student Scholarships

The American Society for Precision Engineering is offering scholarship grants to help students defray the costs of participating in the 36th ASPE Annual Meeting.  This award will include the waiver of the conference registration fee and four tutorial fees, and will provide $1,000 towards travel, hotel, and meal expenses.  The recipient’s university is responsible for covering the remaining expenses.

ASPE is also very pleased to offer the Graham Siddall Scholarship, a scholarship endowed by Dr. Graham Siddall to recognize a student scholar in the field of precision engineering.
