IBEW Founder’s Scholarship

The IBEW Founders' Scholarship honors the dedicated wiremen and linemen who founded the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.  Each year the officers of the IBEW are pleased to offer its working members scholarships on a competitive basis.  It is hoped that the awards will not only contribute to the personal development of our members but also steward the electrical industry that our founders envisioned.  Spouses or children of IBEW members are not eligible for the IBEW Founders' Scholarship.  An application for the IBEW Founders' Scholarship (Form 172) is available on the IBEW website www.ibew.org/FoundersScholarship.  All IBEW members who have been in continuous good standing for four years preceding May 1st of the scholarship year in which they plan to apply are eligible for the IBEW Founders' Scholarship.  Please note, if a member has been on honorary withdrawal at any time during the aforementioned period, he or she will not be eligible to participate.
