Each year, scholarships of $2,000 each are awarded to students who are dependents of Gulf Coast Active Members. We urge you to suggest, and encourage, your employees to participate in this valuable program.

The scholarship guidelines and an application are included below. Each applicant must be scholastically qualified for acceptance at a college or university of their choice, and need financial aid to attend the school.

The scholarship is good for a full academic year; no part-time semesters are accepted. You may make extra copies of the application.

The scholarship recipients will be announced at the annual Gulf Coast Chapter convention.

The long-running Gulf Coast Scholarship Program operates under the auspices of the Recycling Research Foundation's William A. Bushman Memorial Scholarship Fund.

2011-2012 Winners
We are pleased to announce that the Gulf Coast Chapter of ISRI is again able to award ten scholarships to graduation seniors and to continuing college students. The following are the recipients announced at the convention in Grapevine, Texas, in June, 2011. Gulf Coast was proud to award 10 scholarships instead of the 6 usually given. We had more than 20 applicants, all very qualified. It was very difficult to determine the selection.
