IUEC Scholarship Fund

The IUEC Scholarship Fund is now accepting applications for scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year. The deadline for submitting applications is June 19, 2026. The application form will be on the IUEC Mobile App with member login required.

The IUEC recognizes the value of education and understands how higher education opens doors to endless opportunities for the children of IUEC members. We also understand that too often the cost of higher education can put many of these opportunities out of reach for so many. The IUEC took the first steps to help the children of IUEC members who through their hard work in school now have the opportunity to pursue their dreams through a degree in higher learning.

The General Executive Board established the IUEC Scholarship Fund to encourage and support the pursuit of higher education. The IUEC Scholarship Fund is a trust fund established to promote the pursuit of higher education and to help ease the financial burden of higher education by providing scholarship benefits to dependents of IUEC members in the United States and Canada.
