The creation of the scholarship program was one of the ways the company celebrated its 90th anniversary. Today, with over 100 years in business, EDiS is led by the fourth generation of DiSabatinos as well as a member of the fifth generation. Supporting the educational community and the students who will be the future of the construction industry has always been of vital importance to us. The $1,000 renewable awards can be used to pursue an associate's or bachelor's degree. Students with financial need and academic merit who will study architecture, engineering or business at local academic institutions including the University of Delaware, Delaware Technical and Community College, Delaware State University, Goldey Beacom College, Lincoln University or Wesley College are eligible.
In celebration of Earth Day 2011, EDiS announced the endowment of the EDiS Generation III GreenSense Scholarship at the Delaware Community Foundation. In addition to our 13-year-old Generation III Scholarship described below, a separate $1,000 per year renewable scholarship will be given to students who are pursuing an associate's or bachelor's degree majoring in environmental studies at the University of Delaware, Delaware Technical and Community College, Delaware State University, Goldey Beacom College, Lincoln University or Wesley College. The scholarship is being awarded not only as an incentive to our next generation of environmental stewards, but also to honor those who already stand out amongst those utilizing best practices in the sustainability movement. To honor current best practices, each year EDiS selects winners in three categories for the EDiS GreenSense Award. The three categories include EDiS' Employee Green Giant Award, the GreenSense Award for Personal Investment in Green and the GreenSense Award for Business Investment in Green. The latter two winners are selected from nominations of EDiS' extended "family" of clients, owner's representatives, school board members, subcontractors, etc. The three green award winners will be recognized with a seat on the EDiS Generation III GreenSense Scholarship selection committee and the GreenSense scholarship will be given in the award winners' names.
