To support employees of IDDBA-member companies, IDDBA is offering academic scholarships. Awards from $250 to $1,000 per semester are available to high school seniors and current or returning college or vocational/technical school students. Because funds are budgeted annually, available dollars may be prorated among eligible applicants. If financial resources run low, priority will be given to supermarket dairy, deli, and bakery employees.
