Engineering Scholarships Available for 43rd Design Automation Conference; Allows 20 Engineers between Jobs to Attend Premier Industry Conference
BOULDER, Colo.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 22, 2006—
The Design Automation Conference (DAC), the electronic
design automation (EDA) industry's premier event, today announced it
will offer the "Scholarship for DAC Alumni Between Employment" program
again this year.
The scholarship program, introduced in 2004, was created to ensure
that as many as 20 qualified engineers without personal resources or
corporate support are able to attend the premier industry conference.
The 43rd DAC will be held July 24-28, 2006, at the Moscone Center in
San Francisco.
DAC scholarships, valued at approximately $400 each, will be
awarded by lottery to eligible applicants. To be eligible,
participants must have attended DAC in the past. In addition,
consideration will be given to those who have participated in other
EDA industry activities. Scholarships do not include transportation
and housing. In the event that a scholarship recipient's situation
should change prior to the conference, he or she will be asked to give
up the scholarship so another applicant may attend.
DAC scholarship applications are being accepted now through
Thursday, June 22, via an online confidential questionnaire found on
the DAC Web site at http://www.dac.com.
"We are very pleased to offer this scholarship program for DAC
again this year," said William Joyner, the 2005 DAC chair, who
oversees the DAC Engineering Scholarship program. "The program has
been very successful and last year we were able to award several
scholarships to attendees who might otherwise not have been able to
attend the conference."
DAC offers a variety of registration options. For more details,
