• One female and one male will be presented a plaque and a $1,000 check at the Sunday evening banquet at the spring conference.
• Publication of winners will be posted in the IIAAA Newsletter and on the association website.

Only students graduating during the current school year will be eligible for the scholarships.

Selection of winners will be based on the following criteria:

1. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
2. Be a son or daughter of a current IIAAA member
3. Involvement in school sponsored activities
4. Involvement in activities outside of school (work, charities, etc.)
5. Two letters of support
6. A 500 word essay describing how co-curricular activities have enhanced the students educational experience. Essay must be typed.
7. A wallet sized photograph suitable for reproduction must also be submitted with the application.
