In 2011, ISAC awarded six $3,000 scholarships, and six $1,500 scholarships.

The scholarships go to high school seniors who are the children of county officials and county employees.

ISAC has had a scholarship program for about 15 years.

In addition, in 2011 ISAC awarded a $3,000 Past President's Scholarship.

ISAC's technology affiliate, Iowa Counties Information Technology Organization, also awarded a $2,000 scholarship in 2011 to a high school senior interested in studying technology in college.

All of the scholarship winners are recognized at a ceremony that takes place every year as part of the business meeting at the ISAC Spring School. (Click here to download a photo.)

The ISAC Scholarship applications are distributed and posted on the ISAC website in early September, and then a copy appears in the ISAC magazine in November. Applications are always due in mid-December. We usually get between 90 and 100 applications. The scholarships are funded by the ISAC Education Foundation. A large part of the funds are gained from the annual ISAC Scholarship Golf Fundraiser. This year's event will be held at Otter Creek Golf Course on September 21, 2011.
