IEDA March 2010 Scholarships
For several years, the Indiana Economic Development Association has given scholarships to members of the organization to further their economic development education. We have been very blessed over the past several years to have the Economic Development Institute (EDI) hosted in our state capital, Indianapolis. Once again, the IEDA will be offering scholarships to those who are planning to attend the EDI in March of 2010 in Indianapolis. We offer scholarships that cover a percentage of the cost of tuition.

If you are interested, complete the form and send it to our association offices 150 West Market Street, Suite 040, Indianapolis, IN 46204 by January 15, 2010 (Friday at 5:00 p.m.). Decisions will be reached and all will be notified by February 1, 2010.
