Appy by June 12, 2023 for one of at least six scholarships to attend URMIA’s 2023 Annual Conference in Baltimore. There are two types of scholarships available: a full scholarship covering conference registration + travel expenses and a travel scholarship covering travel expenses only.
The conference sessions are informative, and the discussions both in and in between sessions are invaluable. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to attend such a wonderful conference by receiving a scholarship.

The URMIA Annual Conference Scholarship Program provides valuable educational and networking opportunities for higher education risk management professionals who could not attend the upcoming URMIA annual conference without financial support.
These scholarships are intended for URMIA institutional members who have risk management responsibilities in the risk management office or in any related department at a member college or university.
At least one scholarship will be set aside to recognize those who have been traditionally underrepresented in the field of higher education risk management and who have demonstrated a dedication to personal growth and leadership through their commitments to education and/or work.
Furthermore, preference will be given to applicants who have not attended any URMIA annual or regional conference in person. URMIA peers serving on the Annual Conference Scholarship Task Force will select scholarship recipients.
