ISSA Scholars, a signature ISSA Charities program, announced the recipients of the ISSA Scholars 2026-2027 Scholarship Awards. The generous contributions of ISSA-member companies and individuals provided 64 scholarships to new and continuing college students totaling $182,500 in financial aid.

"Every scholarship we award represents more than financial support. It represents opportunity, encouragement, and the belief that every student deserves the chance to pursue their dreams," says ISSA Executive Director Kim Althoff. "Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and member companies, we're helping students build brighter futures while investing in the next generation of leaders who will make a lasting impact in their communities and beyond."

ISSA Scholars provides financial aid to help students achieve their dreams of higher education. Since 1988, the organization has awarded nearly $4 million in financial aid to more than 1,000 ISSA-member-company employees and their immediate family members. Scholarships alleviate the burden of tuition for college and university students, introducing them to new professionals and career opportunities in the cleaning and facility solutions industries.
