IEEE Region 1 Activity Support for PACE, WIE, YP, and EDU events.
- Region 1 provides support for Section activities created for PACE, WIE, YP and EDU. Go here for more information!
- The maximum request is $750 per event. EDU activities are limited to $250 requests.
- Each request requires a matched commitment of Section funds. Examples of activities can be found on the link for funding.
- Each year, Sections may apply for funds for one of each type of event including: 1) PACE, 2) WIE or YP, and 3) EDU.
These funds can also be used to provide travel support to attend meetings. However, the maximum support ($750) must also be matched by Section funds. If the travel requires less than $1,500 of total support the region will only cover 50%. In order to qualify for travel support the Section must have carried out at least 3 reported events for the Affinity group. A Section may apply for either travel support or activity support (not both) for a specific Affinity group.
