High Voltage Association Student Excellence Award
The High Voltage Association Student Excellence Award was established in 2008 to recognize the contributions made by a graduate student in the area of high voltage systems and composnent research & technology.
The High Voltage Association, formed by several companies who have products and research in high voltage systems and components, financially sponsors the award.
Nominees for this awards must be current graduate students or recent graduates (up to 18 months prior to the conference date) and should be members of IEEE at the time of the award presentation.

Tom R. Burkes Student Awards
In 2002, the IEEE International Power Modulator Conference created two Student Awards in honor of Dr. Tom R. Burkes, Professor, Texas Tech University (1937-1998). The awards are:
Outstanding Graduate Student Award: Established to recognize contributions by a graduate student in engineering, science or technology associated with power modulation, power electronics, or repetitive pulsed power.
Exceptional Undergraduate Student Award: Established to recognize and encourage an outstanding undergraduate student in his/her early career in engineering, science or technology associated with power modulation, power electronics or repetitive pulsed power.
Nominees for both awards must be current students or recent graduates (up to 18 months prior to the conference date) and should be members of IEEE at the time of the award presentation. They will be expected to be participants in the conference and included in the authorship of a paper or papers accepted for presentation at the conference.
