WSA Scholarship Program

As part of its commitment to the future of the industry, The Workplace Solutions Association (WSA), Powered by ISSA, is proud to support the Independent Office Product and Furniture Dealers Association (IOPFDA) scholarship program. Established more than 50 years ago by the WSA (formerly known as IOPFDA) and supported entirely through individual and member contributions, the annual scholarship program started with a US$5,000 donation and has now awarded more than $2.8 million in scholarships to deserving families of office products and office furniture dealers. 

Scholarship applications are ranked by independent awards management firm Kaleidoscope with the final recipients confirmed by a panel of WSA board members. 

Applicants are scored for their academic success along with their outside interests, extracurricular activities, community services, and financial needs. Any person who is an employee or related to an employee of a WSA member firm may apply. 

WSA membership status will be verified, and candidates must have graduated from high school or its equivalent before July 1 of the year in which they would use the scholarship. Candidates must have an academic record sufficient to be accepted by an accredited college, junior college, or technical institute.
