IANE Scholarship Program

The 2021 scholarship program is now open! The deadline is extended until to May 14.

New in 2021, the Irrigation Association of New England launched a new scholarship program to provide meaningful financial support for the education of worthy scholarship candidates.

The scholarship program will promote careers in the green industry as well as provide a benefit to our members and their families. Scholarships are awarded based on the student’s letter of intent, reference letters and resume.

In the program’s first year, two scholarships will be awarded. One scholarship will be awarded to a qualifying student who is an IANE contractor member or an IANE contractor member’s child. The second scholarship will be awarded to a qualifying student who is pursuing education and a career in the irrigation and green industry.
