Annual Conference Scholarships

Purpose

URMIA's Annual Conference Scholarship Program is designed to provide valuable educational and networking opportunities for higher education risk management professionals who could not attend the URMIA Annual Conference without this financial support. Five scholarships of up to $1,600 each are available to be awarded.

Eligibility

These scholarships are intended for URMIA members who have not had the opportunity to attend any URMIA annual conference. Applicants must be responsible for risk management at their institution or work within a risk management department at a college or university. Preference will be given to applicants who have not attended any URMIA annual or regional conference. Recipients will be selected by URMIA member peers serving on the Annual Conference Scholarship Task Force.
