The Foundation’s endowed scholarship program allows donors to establish an endowed scholarship that can be custom-named for individuals, companies, or organizations. The minimum gift to establish an endowed scholarship is $25,000 and gifts may be paid all at once, or over a five-year period.

These scholarships represent a commitment to the development of the next generation of pest management professionals through the support of students pursuing higher education and to those parents and families working in the field.

All scholarship applications for the upcoming year will open on October 1.
