Power Engineering Education Trust (PEET) is to empower those who will shape Aotearoa New Zealand?s energy future. PEET is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2002 by industry and academia to ensure a pipeline of Power Engineering talent. PEET activities are supported and administered by the Electric Power Engineering Centre (EPECentre), our student interface located at Te Whare W?nanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. A way in which PEET is empowering the next generation in the study of Power Engineering is by offering scholarships. PEET first established undergraduate scholarships in 2003 for students at Te Whare W?nanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. The scholarship?s regulations evolved to fit new requirements. For instance, in 2018 PEET decided to promote gender equity through the scholarship in order to meet and sustain future engineering needs of the power industry. This also aligns with the objectives of The Diversity Agenda, of which Te R?ngai P?kaha | UC College of Engineering is a founding partner. In 2019, PEET decided to allow for the possibility of preference being given to those who have financial hardship, and to modify the programme so that, every year, students have to reapply and thereby prove their continued commitment to, and interest in, Power Engineering. In 2021, PEET decided to replace that UC Electric Power Engineering Centre Scholarship with this scholarship, in order to directly acknowledge the financial contribution made by PEET industry members. This new scholarship also opened PEET scholarships to application by Te Whare W?nanga o T?maki Makaurau University of Auckland third-year students in Power Engineering. In 2021, the scholarship scheme was expanded to allow support of students by individual PEET member organisations.This scholarship supports and promotes study in the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (BE(Hons)) degree programmes at Te Whare W?nanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury and Te Whare W?nanga o T?maki Makaurau | University of Auckland.
