The 2024 IAEM Scholarship Application Period has closed. Use this page as an example of IAEM's scholarship application. Please note, however, that the application changes annually.

IAEM scholarships are awarded through a competitive process to students worldwide, who are pursuing an associate or diploma, baccalaureate, or graduate degree in emergency management, or a closely related field.

The 2024 scholarship application period for full-time undergraduate and graduate students and part-time graduate students begins Feb. 15, 2024. All application materials must be submitted by 11:59:59 p.m. EDT, May 20, 2024.

Application instructions should be downloaded and followed closely. A checklist is available below to help you gather materials.

In 2017, a special undergraduate scholarship was named for the Scholarship Program co-founder, Robert C. Bohlmann, CEM: The Robert C. Bohlmann, CEM, Scholarship for Service in Emergency Management. In 2024, this scholarship again will be awarded to the undergraduate student who has the highest score under the scholarship rating system. Other undergraduate and graduate scholarships will be awarded as IAEM scholarships.
