ISSA Charities Awards 2025-2026 Scholarships
ISSA Scholars, a signature ISSA Charities program – the charitable arm of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry, today announced the recipients of the ISSA Scholars 2025-2026 Scholarship Awards. The generous contributions of several individuals and ISSA member companies provided 51 scholarships to new and continuing college students totalling US$148,000 in financial aid.
“We’re proud to celebrate another outstanding group of scholarship recipients and the bright future they represent for our industry,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors and member companies, we’re not only opening doors for these students—we’re investing in the next generation of leaders who will help shape the future of the cleaning industry.”
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 over 1,000 ISSA member company employees and their immediate family members. Scholarships relieve the burden of tuition for college and university students and introduce new professionals to career opportunities in the cleaning industry.
Students entering or continuing studies at fully accredited colleges and universities are eligible to apply for annual scholarships. An independent committee selects scholarship winners based on merit, individual accomplishments, and evidence of leadership. The full list of 2025-2026 Scholarships and recipients is available here.
