Cypress Chapter IWLA Florida Scholarships
Support the Scholarship Funds
Folks can help build the Cypress Chapter endowment by donating online via our secure website portal, sending a check, and/or making a bequest to the Cypress Chapter IWLA Endowment. Donations of $10,000 or more will fund a scholarship named by the donor, if desired. Donations to the Endowment, a 501(c) 3 corporation, may be eligible for significant tax savings.
IWLA Endowment Fund
The IWLA Endowment Fund offers $2500 scholarships for junior and senior undergrads who are IWLA members, working on a degree in environment related studies.
George Quasius SR Work Force Award
$1000 award for training of outstanding high school grads seeking careers in skilled construction. There is a shortage of skilled tradesmen for Greater Everglades restoration projects. Applicants for a work force training award do not need to be 2024 highschool graduates.
Outstanding applicants will be offered a one year “student” 2026 membership in IWLA . We will share outstanding applications with other NGOs that have scholarship programs, in an attempt to “bundle” grants for greater impact and perhaps sustained support.
