IRI Scholarships

For 2025, we will award multiple Technical/Open Scholarships. We expect each
scholarship’s value to be $1,500.

These scholarships are for 2024-2025 school year seniors who will attend post-
high school education institutions (college, community college, university, and
technical school). You must attend in the Fall 2025 – 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!
