$10k scholarship for insurance professionals opens

The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and the Insurance Council of New Zealand (ICNZ) have opened submissions to the 2021 ICNZ and ANZIIF Scholarship with a prize of up to $10,000 to be awarded to a professional from the insurance industry to attend an international conference or seminar programme which will provide an industry or leadership-based development opportunity.

ICNZ chief executive Tim Grafton is encouraging members to support applications for the scholarship.

"We are proud to support the ongoing development of our industry, which is critical if we are to maintain pace with the ever-changing insurance needs of our customers and communities," says Grafton.

"This year’s topic and its focus on the pandemic really delves into understanding the sector and how it can continue to evolve and change."
