Up to 10 awards may be given. In order to receive the award and the cash prize, the student must attend the conference and present the paper. One paper will be selected at the conference as the Best paper and will receive a total cash award of $1000 (in addition to the waiver of the conference fees).

Four of the recipients of the USAEE Student Paper Award will be invited to participate in a special session the first day of the conference.

An award ceremony will recognize all of the students’ work later in the conference.
