One application offers consideration for multiple Scholarships to be awarded this year by the Foundation, ranging from $1,500 to $5,000. In 2025, the Foundation awarded a total of $30,000 through these awards. Eligible Seniors should contact their school counselor for more information and to obtain access to the Club's electronic application. This year's application deadline is Friday, March 20. The IAH Club and its foundation fund these scholarships each year through private donations and their various fundraisers, with the main fundraiser being its Annual Golf Outing. Mark your calendars for this great event, being held in June 22!
