Deadline: 30-Jul-2024
The Spencer Educational Foundation is seeking applications for the General Grants Program.
Students traveled internationally as a part of a risk management and insurance course to engage with local industry insiders. Others proactively utilized a Center for Professional Development to reinforce career ready skills. A third group participated in a semester long initiative aimed at recruiting and retaining diverse talent. A forth set participated in a National Talent Competition. What do these four scenarios have in common? They stem from a Spencer General Grant Program (GGP) that supports the advancement of practical student knowledge and the ongoing build of a global talent pipeline of next generation risk management & insurance professionals!
From an appetite perspective, prior initiatives supported by Spencer include student attendance at conferences and symposia for practical learning and mentoring; student travel to reinforce active engagement with industry professionals; high school outreach and career development programs to expand career ready skills and the overall talent pipeline; and a variety of other unique proposals that aim to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in risk management & insurance education.
Spencer’s GGP supports student-centered initiatives that (1) provide experiential learning opportunities for Risk Management & Insurance students and (2) attract new talent to risk and insurance careers.
