Three $1,000 Launch Scholarships are available for the class of 2023.

The ILMI Launch Scholarships are intended for further education for graduating seniors who have had a clear vision of their career path and have taken steps to start their careers. This scholarship is unique in that we are mainly focussed on the candidate’s entrepreneurial preparedness and expression of a passion to turn a dream into a real plan.

Our scholarship committee members will not know any identifying information while reading essays or choosing a winning candidate.
