ISHE Scholarship Award Program

In 1997, the ISHE Scholarship Award Program was established. An Engineering Scholarship Fund was established and has been provided for in the annual budget. ISHE may award one or more scholarships per school year. These scholarships are available to ISHE Members or employees of ISHE full hospital members, or the sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of ISHE members who are attending college and pursuing a degree in engineering, technology, construction, architecture, construction management, or other field applicable to healthcare facility management.

During each Spring State Meeting thereafter, a motion may be presented on the floor for scholarships of $2,000.00 each to be transferred from the General Fund into the Scholarship Fund for the coming year. Interest accrued by the Scholarship Fund shall remain in the scholarship fund to compound.
