IPLOCA Scholarships
We are pleased to announce that twelve exceptional students, all of whom are children or grandchildren of IPLOCA member companies, have been selected as recipients of the 2024 IPLOCA Scholarships.
This year, we received a remarkable total of 115 applications from highly qualified candidates, making the selection process extraordinarily competitive. The Scholarship Committee, comprised of dedicated board members, undertook the challenging task of evaluating each application. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Gian Marco Dondi, Sean McNally, Kelly Osborn, and Adam Wynne Hughes for their invaluable contributions and tireless efforts in this important work. To reflect the international nature of our association and ensure a diverse range of scholarship winners, we awarded scholarships based on the highest scores from each region, totalling eight awardees. The remaining four scholarships were granted to the highest overall scorers. This method ensures broad representation and inclusivity across our global network.
