Students are eligible for annual scholarships, awards, and honors for their achievements within computer science. Rewards are given to those who are active leaders within their student chapters or have displayed academic excellence within the computing discipline. Additionally, all IEEE student members, including undergraduates and graduates, are eligible to participate in student paper contests.

The IEEE Computer Society Awards Committee is responsible for soliciting nominees, reviewing candidates, and making recommendations to the Board of Governors for final approval of all Major Award recipients.

Each award subcommittee evaluates every nomination submitted and analyzes each nominee’s lifetime achievements and impact on the computing community.
