2010 recipient: Corlan McDonald | Attending the Univ. of Central Florida, Orlando, FL. Majoring in Computer Science
The objective of the P.O. Pistilli Scholarship program is to increase the pool of professionals in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science from under-represented groups (women, African-American, Hispanic, Native American, and physically challenged). In 1989, ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA) began providing the program. Beginning in 1993, the Design Automation Conference provided the funds for the scholarship and a volunteer committee continues to administer the program for DAC. DAC normally funds a $4000 scholarship, renewable up to five years, to graduating high school seniors. -

Each year the Design Automation Conference sponsors the $24,000 A. Richard Newton Graduate Scholarship to support graduate research and study in Design Automation (DA), and Design with emphasis in “design and test automation of electronic and computer systems”. Each scholarship is awarded directly to a University for the Faculty Investigator to expend in direct support of one or more DA graduate students. The criteria are: the quality and applicability of the proposed research; the impact of the award on the DA program at the institution; the academic credentials of the student(s); and financial need. Preference is given to institutions that are trying to establish new DA research programs. -
