BEFORE COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION, PLEASE REVIEW A SAMPLE APPLICATION HERE.

Spencer’s Risk Manager on Campus program offers grants of up to $5,000 to universities and colleges in the United States and Canada to host a practicing Risk Manager on its campus for a 1–3-day residency.

The grant award is to be used to:

  1. Reimburse the risk manager for travel, housing, and incidental expenses incurred from the visit.

  2. Coordinate class visits, campus-wide lectures, panel discussions, meals, student club/organization meetings, senior administration visits, and/or receptions for students to network with and learn from the visiting risk manager, thereby exposing students to careers in Risk Management and Insurance (including Actuarial Science) and cultivating excitement about the industry.

Up to $1,000 of the total grant award may be allocated by the school to their Gamma Iota Sigma chapter or other Risk Management/Insurance/Actuarial/Finance/Management student organization for programming outside of the Risk Manager’s visit. However, initial priority must be given to reimbursing the risk manager for travel, housing, and other incidental expenses.

In addition, Risk Managers have the option to invite their brokers or carriers to speak a portion of the time they are lecturing. However, the grant shall not be used to reimburse other participants, only the risk manager.

Dan Kugler was a constant advocate for Spencer and had a true passion for connecting with students and sharing his risk management expertise at universities across the country. Among his many roles at Spencer, teaching as a Risk Manager on Campus was near and dear to Dan’s heart, and he worked in this capacity for nearly 20 years.
