ITRA Scholarship Information & Application

The Independent Textile Rental Association is committed to promoting and advancing professionals in the textiles services industry. To demonstrate this commitment, ITRA awards one $2,500 scholarship annually to help fund the continuing education of an ITRA Member (Active or Associate) or their employee. 

Applicants will fit the following criteria to apply for the scholarship:

  • Applicant must be an employee or immediate family of an employee of an ITRA Member in good standing.
  • Enrolled in a two- or four-year accredited college or University.

The completion of the application is the responsibility of the applicant. One scholarship will be awarded per year. Past recipients may re-apply each year as they continue through a qualifying program.

"Receiving the ITRA Scholarship will not only help me financially complete my

education but will also allow me to further develop the skills needed to contribute

meaningfully to this industry. By investing in my education, you are helping plant the

seeds for future growth—both in my career and in the textile services industry as a

whole. I am excited to continue building on the foundation I have already started and

look forward to a future where I can help businesses like Springfield Laundry thrive for

years to come."
