The IBEW Founders' Scholarships honor the dedicated wiremen and linemen who, on November 28, 1891, organized the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The officers of the IBEW are pleased to offer its working members scholarships annually 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.
This award is for $200 per semester credit hour at any accredited college or university toward an initial bachelor's degree in an approved field. The maximum distribution is $24,000 over a period not to exceed eight years.
