ISSA Charities Awards 2019–2020 Scholarships

ISSA is proud to announce the recipients of the ISSA Charities 2019–2020 Scholarship Awards.

This year, ISSA Charities awarded 47 scholarships, totaling over US$130,000. The scholarships are made possible by the generous contributions of ISSA-member companies and individuals.

“We are fortunate to be affiliated with so many generous companies and individuals,” said Tracy Weber, ISSA Charities manager. “The donations we receive from our members help further ISSA’s mission of advancing the cleaning industry by enriching the lives of the industry’s workforce.”

The ISSA Charities Scholarship Program has helped individuals fulfill their dreams of higher education since 1988. The scholarships are open to all employees of ISSA member companies, and their immediate family members as well. Eligible candidates are those entering or continuing studies at a fully accredited four-year college or university, majoring in whatever they desire. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, individual accomplishments, and evidence of leadership.
