Since 1988, IREA’s board of directors has awarded grants to graduating high school seniors who plan to continue their education. Each year in June, we award 21 grants (three per director district) of $2,000 each. The grant winners are chosen via a lottery-type drawing, as there are no scholastic requirements.

High school seniors graduating in 2019 can use our Education Grant Notification Form to request an alert when the online application form is available in early 2019.
