IRI Scholarships

Announcing the 2023 IRI Scholarships!

For 2023, we will award multiple Technical/Open Scholarships. We expect each scholarship’s value to be between $1000 and $2000.

These scholarships are for 2022-2023 school year seniors who will attend post-high school education institutions (college, community college, university, and technical school). You must attend in the Fall 2023 – the check will be written to you and the school and must be deposited into your “school account”.

It is very important that you follow the guidelines below and be sure you have included all the requested information. Don’t make it hard on the sponsoring companies!
