Established in 1998, the ILMA Foundation is committed to strengthening the lubricants industry through supporting the interests, values, and vision of independent lubricant manufacturers. We achieve this by nurturing future leaders through scholarships, education, and insightful research.
Scholarship Program
Are you or someone you know looking for financial support for education? Spread the word! The ILMA Foundation offers scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students ranging from $3,500 to $5,000. Whether you’re studying STEM or have a passion for the lubricants industry, our program can help you achieve your academic goals. Family and friends of ILMA member company employees are eligible to apply.
Invest in the future of our industry.
The work of the ILMA Foundation would not be possible without the support of generous donors like you. Your tax-deductible contribution will empower the next generation of leaders and allow the Foundation to expand its reach and impact.
Internship Toolkit
Multiple and ongoing internship programs at ILMA member companies will expand workforce development for all lubricant manufacturers. Our step-by-step guide covers every aspect of creating a successful internship program.
