The EGIA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charitable organization committed to educating, researching and developing the next generation of qualified workers for the home service industry, is proud to announce that the EGIA Foundation Scholarship Program is now accepting applicants for the 2018-19 academic year.
