Funding the diverse and talented future of the RMI industry.
The Spencer Educational Foundation is embarking on our 2nd annual comprehensive fundraising campaign, Funding Their Future, which aims to raise $1 million and will honor Peter Garvey (EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants) and Mary Roth (Risk and Insurance Management Society, Inc. (RIMS)).
Now through September 15, we will recognize longtime industry supporters and those who helped pave the way for the Foundation’s success, highlight the growth Spencer has achieved since its founding in 1979, and celebrate the diverse and talented students who have benefited from Spencer’s programming.

Hear from our Spencer Scholars…
“After I graduate, I would like to use my skills and knowledge to help people attain financial stability through risk management and insurance. My dream is that one day even a local farmer in a developing country can afford insurance for his land and crops.”
- Tawonga Muyila
Georgia State University
“The world is a better place because of the Spencer Educational Foundation and all it does to support the future of the RMI industry: its students. I know this firsthand, as I was fortunate enough to receive an undergraduate award at Temple University and, now, a Pre-Dissertation PhD Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Then and now, Spencer's support has allowed me to dive deeper into my studies, think more intently about our industry, and develop bigger and better questions than I ever thought possible.”

“The Spencer Educational Foundation Scholarship has been an integral part of my successful college career. Both their financial and educational support has been a wonderful thing to have in my corner over the past year and a half that I have been a Spencer Scholar. I am immensely grateful for everything the Foundation has done for me and other Insurance and Risk Management students. Their support plays a key role in shaping the future of the insurance industry for the better!”
- Noah Heim
Indiana State University
“The relationships and mentorships that I have made while being a Spencer Scholar are ones that I will cherish throughout my professional career! Being a Spencer Scholarship recipient has not only assisted me financially but has also assisted me professionally by giving me the resources to develop relationships with industry professionals and grow in my knowledge of the industry. I have had the honor of being a Spencer scholarship recipient two times while attending Olivet College, pursuing my bachelor's degree in Insurance and Risk Management. I am extremely grateful to be in an industry that invests so much into its young professionals. I thank the Spencer Educational Foundation for investing in my future, without them I would not be where I am today.”
