Many thanks to our Sponsored Awards Patrons for the 2025 Synopsys Championship. Sponsored Awards sponsors send a small team of judges to interview students and evaluate projects that are relevant to their areas of interest. Students enjoy talking with the judges as much as the awards themselves, which may include cash, tours or tangible items.
All Sponsored Awards will be included in the 2025 Winner Summary soon. If you would like to know more about sponsoring an award, please contact the Sponsored Awards Committee via the Contact page.
