Ice Skating Institute of America

Ice Skating Institute of America serves the ice sports community through membership-based participation and education pathways that extend into college support. Its scholarship activity centers on the ISIA Education Foundation Scholarship, a merit-based program for high school seniors and currently enrolled full-time undergraduates who are members of the Ice Sports Industry. The organization ties educational assistance directly to sustained involvement in skating and rink-based community life, linking scholarship eligibility to both academic performance and long-term participation in ISI programs. The scholarship framework shows a clear organizational emphasis on commitment, service, and continued engagement in ice skating. Eligible applicants must have completed at least 3 years of high school with a minimum 3.0 GPA, held individual or professional ISI membership for at least 4 years, and participated in ISI group classes or ISI-endorsed competitions within the last 2 years. The program also requires 120 hours of volunteer service, including at least 60 hours associated with an ISI member facility. Those requirements place the organization’s priorities at the intersection of skating activity, educational advancement, and volunteer contribution within affiliated facilities. The Ice Skating Institute of America’s educational support reaches students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in the United States, including high school seniors as well as college freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. For the 2026 cycle, applications open on 4/15/2026 and close on 6/15/2026, and award amounts vary. Taken together, these details present an organization that supports the ice skating community not only through sport participation and affiliation, but also through structured recognition of academic merit, service, and long-term involvement in ISI programs.
