Susan Eldridge PARMA Conference Scholarship

PARMA’s vision is to assist Public Entity Risk Managers in achieving success in their careers and to provide Public Entities with the support they need to make their Risk Managers successful. With this in mind we design a conference to provide quality education and training in all the aspects of risk management. To help assist in funding, PARMA offers scholarships for the conference from both PARMA as an association and also through its chapters.

The Susan Eldridge PARMA Conference Scholarship is for eligible public entity employees.  The scholarship includes conference registration, room accommodations at the lowest priced option for Conference Host Hotel for a maximum of three room nights, paid directly by PARMA. Round trip travel at the IRS rate mileage and/or airfare, not to exceed $600.

Click here to apply for the scholarship.  The scholarship application deadline is Monday, October 7. 

Each chapter that maintains a specified amount in their chapter treasury may also award a scholarship. If you are interested in either of these programs, simply use the online Scholarship application form link above to apply. You must be employed by a Public Entity to apply.  For more information, please click HERE.
