The International Association of Emergency Managers established the IAEM Scholarship Program to nurture, promote, and develop disaster preparedness and resilience by furthering the education of students in emergency management, disaster management, or related programs.

The purpose of the program is to assist the profession by identifying and developing students with the intellect and technical skills to advance and enhance emergency or disaster management.

The program is sustained through donations from individuals and corporations. The Scholarship Commission’s current goal is to reach $1 million in the endowment fund to ensure IAEM Scholarships into the foreseeable future.
