2010 IABA Scholarship Program |
History
In 2008, the Board of Directors of the Iroquois Area Business Association (IABA) launched a program to award a one-time college scholarship to a local graduating high school senior. The business association wished to emphasize the value of education for young people in our local area. It is the hope of the IABA that an investment in the college aspirations of area students is also an investment in the local community, one that will help open the door of opportunity for the people of South Louisville.
Description
The IABA Scholarship is a $500 award that must be applied towards tuition at a post-secondary school of the recipient’s choosing. The scholarship will be offered annually and is nonrenewable.
