Funded by the Pawley Lean Institute and Oakland University Outreach, the scholarships range from $1,000 to $1,500 awards and are available to both graduate and undergraduate students.

The Dennis and Carlotta Pawley Endowed Graduate Student Lean Award honors the continued study by graduate students of Lean knowledge, research and practices.

Students who wish to apply must fill out an application form as well as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
