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.
Now Accepting Scholarship Applications
The ILMA Foundation has funded more than $650,000 in scholarships to 212 deserving young students, and has expanded its mission to include industry education and training programs. Scholarship applications are being accepted now through May 31, 2024.
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.
