Sponsored by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers Foundation:
We have exciting news for you: A $500 scholarship opportunity!
The objective of the K. K. Barnes Student Paper Awards Competition is to encourage undergraduate students in the preparation of better technical papers on subjects in the agricultural, food or biological engineering field. It is intended as a special inducement to supplement the training provided in the undergraduate curriculum by providing early practice in a type of performance required of professionals in the work in which they will later engage.
Contestants shall be student members of ASABE and undergraduates at the time of the studies that resulted in the preparation of the paper. Papers shall be received at ASABE headquarters no later than six months after the students’ receipt of the first professional degree.
The authors of the top three student papers will be invited to attend the ASABE Annual International Meeting and their meeting registration fee will be waived. At this meeting, they will present their papers in the oral competition. A cash award of five hundred dollars ($500) will be given to the first-place winner, three hundred dollars ($300) to the second-place winner, and two hundred dollars ($200) to the third-place winner. The engineering department developing the first-place winner will also receive a commemorative certificate.
Entry Deadline: May 15, 2018. Please submit papers to awards@asabe.org. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
