Scholarships

Precarn had two scholarship programs: the Gordon M. MacNabb Scholarship and the Precarn Scholars Program.

Gordon M. MacNabb Scholarship

The Gordon M. MacNabb Scholarship Foundation was founded in 1993 as a charitable organization to support graduate students studying and working in the area of robotics and intelligent systems. The Foundation has awarded $5,000 scholarship supplements each year since its inception. >>Click to learn more

Precarn Scholars Program

IRIS created the Precarn Scholars Program from the $1 million provided by Precarn in its Strategic Plan to develop highly qualified personnel. Funds were allocated to each project in the same percentage as their student budgets. Project leaders determined the distribution within the projects.

Over the three years (2003-2005), 191 students received Precarn Scholarships. These Scholars were given special status at the Annual Conference. Their registration fees were waived, their poster presentations were given prominence over other posters, and they featured prominently in IRIS Annual Reports and website. Press releases were distributed to national and local media concerning these awards.

IRIS has reached the arbitrary 15-year limit under the NCE ‘rules’, hence, the funding for research from the Networks of Centres of Excellence program has ceased. The academic network represented by IRIS is a vital component of the successful Precarn collaborative R&D and commercialization model; hence, Precarn is continuing to operate the highly successful Precarn Scholars program on a year-to-year basis by funding that initiative directly. You will receive an announcement of the application details soon. Precarn is pleased to announce that the Precarn Scholarship will continue for 2006-2007.

The recipients of the Precarn Scholarships by year were:
