The Lawn Institute Scholarship Program
The Dr. Henry W. Indyk Scholarship was established to honor a founding father of Turfgrass Producers International while demonstrating TPI’s commitment to education and offering a valuable member benefit. Up to $10,000 in scholarship funding is made available annually by TPI through the Dr. Henry W. Indyk Scholarship.
Since it’s inception in 2006, TPI has awarded over a dozen scholarships to assist TPI families in paying for higher education. Any current TPI Class A Turfgrass Sod Producer or Class B Supplier/Manufacturer member in good standing is eligible to apply. Furthermore, the immediate family of a Class A or Class B member or an employee, or the employee’s child is eligible to apply. Scholarship applicants can major in any given field but must plan on attending or be attending an accredited educational facility as a full-time student to be eligible.
