Grainger Electric Power Endowment
Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington In 1999, The Grainger Foundation entered into a partnership with the
University of Washington to support merit-based Grainger Fellowships for
power engineering graduate students and Grainger Scholarships for power
engineering undergraduates. Under the supervision of the late Lee Flory,
dozens of students were awarded scholarships and fellowships. The
Grainger Foundation eventually established a permanent endowment to
continue this support. Grainger Graduate Fellowships continue to be
awarded on an annual basis. The goal of the Grainger Electric
Power Endowment is to attract exceptional U.S. students to the dynamic,
exciting and challenging field of power engineering to meet the
increasing demand for skilled professionals in the industry and to
increase the number of graduates capable of making a significant impact
as the industry adjusts to meet new goals of sustainability and
renewability. The Grainger Electric Power Endowment complements the
industry-supported
Electric Energy Industrial Consortium (EEIC) in the University of
Washington electric energy program.
