Starting a scholarship program at your career training institution is a great idea to help support your students financially, but it takes a lot of time and work behind the scenes. Managing the logistics of budgets and funding, the submission criteria, the collection of applications, the selection process, and the administration of awards can quickly feel overwhelming.

You’ve already got more than enough important tasks to focus on to ensure your school is running smoothly and providing excellent service to your students! Why add something else to your plate unnecessarily? You don’t even need to employ someone to run an institutional scholarship program or divert some of your financial aid department’s valuable time to administering an additional program.

Instead you can enlist the help from a whole team of experienced and dedicated people to manage an already award-winning scholarship program for you! The Imagine America Foundation has already done all the legwork to establish a fantastic and expanding program so that you can do what you do best: supporting your students’ education.

As a partnership institution with IAF, your students will have access to our three scholarship award programs: the Military Award Program (MAP) for military personnel, the Adult Skills Education Program (ASEP) for adult students, and the Imagine America High School Scholarship Program for graduating high school seniors. We award these scholarships to thousands of students every year, offering them each the opportunity to lower their tuition costs by $1,000. You won’t have to lift a finger!

You’ll also have the chance to take advantage of IAF’s vast network of partners, who are working every day to match the prospective students they serve with schools like yours who can offer them the hands-on career training they want! The Imagine America Foundation has an incredible database of high schools, workforce boards, and veterans’ affairs offices—and it’s growing all the time. You can quickly establish relationships with our partners without having to spend a bunch of time and money sending representatives to locations across the country to provide demonstrations.

We’ll list your school and educational programs in resources shared with counselors and advisors all over the country every single month. Promote your programs to high schools, workforce boards, and VA offices quickly and effectively through the Imagine America Foundation.
