ISSA Charities Awards Its 2018–19 Scholarships

ISSA^®, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is proud to announce the recipients who earned scholarships through the 2018–19 ISSA Charities Scholarship Awards Program (formerly known as the ISSA Foundation Scholarship Awards Program).

This year, ISSA Charities awarded 56 scholarships, totaling more than US$164,000. 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 ISSA Charities Manager Tracy Weber. “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 Awards 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. 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.
