Interfor Scholarship Program
Interfor has established a scholarship program to assist students who plan to continue their education in post-secondary or vocational school programs.
Interfor Scholarship Program
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Eligibility
Applicants to the Interfor Scholarship Program must be:
- Dependent* children, age 24 and under, of full time salaried or hourly Interfor Corporation employees in the United States (U.S.) and Canada.
