SPONSOR A STUDENT
The SEMI-THERM Educational Foundation invites you to make a direct impact on the future of thermal engineering by sponsoring a student’s first professional presentation — and helping them get published.
Many brilliant students have the research, the drive, and the potential — but not the resources to attend or present at a professional conference. With your support, we remove that barrier.
Our academic and industry panel selects students based on merit and need.
Student Benefits
Students will present their work in front of leading engineers, researchers, and decision-makers in the thermal industry — often for the very first time.
Their research will be published in the IEEE Xplore digital library and the SEMI-THERM technical library, giving them early credibility and a strong professional milestone.
Students attend technical sessions and networking events while gaining direct access to potential employers, collaborators, and lifelong mentors.
Corporate Sponsor Benefits
Recognition
Recognition as a Corporate Sponsor on our website, marketing materials, and during the event.
Library Access
Free access to the SEMI-THERM technical library for the sponsorship year.
Commitment
Demonstrate your commitment to education, innovation, and workforce development in the thermal industry.
