Illinois Public Service Institute Scholarship


Illinois Public Service Institute (IPSI) is a three-year training program that provides instruction expressly designed for public service professionals. The IPSI course includes three one-week sessions focusing on leadership development, service excellence, and personal supervisory skills.  These three sessions taken are one week, each year, over the course of three years. It is a great opportunity to add to your ability to lead and work within a team environment. In supporting the education aspect of the mission of the Illinois Arborist Association, we are offering a scholarship to attend this week-long training. The scholarship will be $500. The deadline to apply for the fall course in October is September 8th, 2023. More information on the institute can be found at www.ilpsi.org.


Your application is simply a few paragraphs:

  • What are your career goals?
  • How will this training help you meet your goals?
  • Why is support from IAA so important in helping you to meet this goal?

Additionally, you will be required to submit a short article for the association newsletter. The article will discuss your experience, and how it fostered your development as an arborist and leader.
