Congratulations to our 2026 Scholarship winners! In order to receive the $1,500 scholarship, applicants were required to submit a letter stating their goals and why the scholarship should be awarded to them along with the scholarship application and their official high school or college transcripts. This year, the PowerForward DuPage Board of Directors chose (6) scholarship recipients instead of (5).
Our goal is to provide college tuition assistance to the children and grandchildren of I.B.E.W. Local 701 members and signatory contractors. This scholarship is intended to provide support to full time students accepted at or attending a four year accredited college undergraduate program or community college. Scholarship awards are to be used for tuition and/or fees, books, room, and board expenses.
The 2027 PowerForward DuPage scholarship application will be available in the spring. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact our PowerForward DuPage Director, Lauren Mesich at (630) 393-1701 Extension 5.
