About the IGEF Scholarship Golf Classic

Supporting education through Piggyback Scholarships

​Since 2001, over 2,200 scholarships have been awarded, totaling more than $3.5 million.
 
The Iowa Grocery Industry Association (IGIA) has streamlined the process for a store or business wishing to create and promote a local scholarship program. Through the IGIA, member businesses can offer a local scholarship program tailored to their communities, without having to set up their own administrative systems and pay the expenses that go along with that. 
 
Thank you to the IGIA members that support the Education Foundation through a piggyback scholarship this year:

• Atlantic Coca-Cola Bottling
• Cylinder Express
• Fareway Stores
• Gary’s Foods
• Grolmus Business Consulting
• Mueller Yurgae Associates
