It aims to encourage and support the next generation of energy professionals. Graduate and undergraduate students will be awarded separately.

    Limitations: Each AES Division award is presented at most once per year to a single individual (with the exception of the Outstanding Student Award, which may be awarded separately to one undergraduate and one graduate student). An individual may receive only one AES Division award in a given year, and the award may be withheld if no suitable nomination is received. Members of the AES Division Awards Review Committee may not nominate or sponsor candidates while serving on the committee, and conflicts of interest are managed to ensure a fair and unbiased selection process.
