IRSPA Scholarships

Parent in Heaven (PH) Balance Scholarship

The Parent in Heaven (PH) Balance Scholarship is a voluntarily funded scholarship by members of IRSPA. It is our hope that the recipients understand that we recognize the tremendous loss when a student loses a parent prior to high school graduation and in a small way would like to offer some support to help them further their education. Students may attend a technical school, community college, or four-year college. 

High School seniors living in IRSPA District 1, District 2, and District 6 or going to a school in District 1, District 2, or District 6 and graduating in May of 2025 are eligible to apply for the PH Balance Scholarship. It is for students attending community colleges, vocational training, or those seeking a four year degree program and who have lost a parent or guardian. PH means Parent in Heaven.

The scholarship for graduates in 2025 will come from District One, District Two or District Six.
