​Piggyback Scholarships
Setting up a local scholarship program is one of the most rewarding and visible acts of public service any business can undertake. However, many find the administrative and legal requirements of developing and offering such a program daunting and costly.

The Iowa Grocery Industry Association (IGIA) has streamlined the process for a store wishing to create and promote a local scholarship program. Through the IGIA, member stores 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. 

​Download the Piggyback Scholarship Overview to learn more.

To begin the process and offer a business-specific or local scholarship, simply complete the IGEF Piggyback Scholarship Commitment Form and return the completed form to the IGIA office no later than October 30, 2024.
