Our scholarships are made possible thanks to the generous donations of our PIPSC community and corporate sponsors. In 2025, we added a scholarship earmarked for a Master's and/or Doctorate student. Thank you to our corporate sponsors and PIPSC constituent bodies who help us celebrate over 100 years of leading progress in such a meaningful way.
