In 1997, the ISHE Scholarship Award Program was established. An Engineering Scholarship Fund was established and has been provided for in the annual budget. ISHE will award up to two (2) scholarships per school year. These scholarships are available to the sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of ISHE members who are attending college and majoring in an engineering or technology discipline.
During each Spring State Meeting thereafter, a motion may be presented on the floor for two (2) scholarships of $2,000.00 each to be transferred from the General Fund into the Scholarship Fund for the coming year. Interest accrued by the Scholarship Fund shall remain in that fund so as to compound.
ISHE Scholarship Award Program Details Mission:
To contribute to the future of the Engineering profession by providing financial assistance to help defray the costs incurred by a qualified young person in the pursuit of an Engineering Degree and to contribute to the membership of the Indiana Society for Healthcare Engineering by making this assistance available to the sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of active ISHE members in good standing.

I. The candidate must be a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter of an ISHE member in good standing. Should no applications be received from qualified candidates by the stated deadline time of any given calendar year, the scholarships may be awarded to an approved Indiana post-secondary educational institution offering an engineering degree program. Said institution shall be selected by vote of the Elected Board of Directors of the Indiana Society for Healthcare Engineering. II.
