For more than 30 years, ISSA Scholars has awarded annual scholarships to forward-thinking individuals pursuing a degree at an accredited four-year university or college. The scholarships help offset the cost of tuition and allow students to focus on their studies and achieve their dreams. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, individual accomplishments, and evidence of leadership.
Thanks to the support of dedicated ISSA member companies, ISSA Scholars has provided nearly US$4 million in financial aid to more than 1,400 recipients. Member companies can choose to donate to existing funds, or develop their own scholarship award to support students. Each year, ISSA announces the full list of scholarship recipients and the company sponsors.
