Create a Designated Scholarship

Currently 25 designated scholarships named in honor or in memory of leaders throughout the cleaning industry, as well as other district scholarships, are awarded to approximately 50 students annually, as a legacy to these leaders.

Our donor designated scholarship funds are available as a philanthropic investment from a member company in support of a named scholarship. Awards for the scholarship may be granted to employees and immediate family members of the company who are full-time students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree at a fully accredited two-year or four-year college or university. The ideal candidate for this scholarship will have demonstrated need and merit. Specific criteria can be established for the applicants by the designated fund donor.

What is needed to start a fund?

Initial gifts are customized to the number of scholarships to be offered and the individual scholarship amounts. You may choose to give one or more awards each year, at whatever amount you choose, with a suggested minimum of $3,000. Scholarships can also be structured to be multi-year. ISSA Scholars takes care of all the administrative work, including the review process, the company takes care of the marketing internally.
