Institute partners with state chamber of commerce executives associations (CCEs) and societies of association executives (SAEs) to provide scholarships for incoming first-year students.

Through the State Partner Scholarship Program, Institute provides one $500 scholarship to participating state CCE and SAE organizations that partner with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to market the Institute program to their members. The scholarships are intended to help participating CCE and SAE member professionals attend Institute for the very first time.

Scholarship recipients are chosen under the discretion of the state organization and are only available to first-year students. Scholarships assist with the cost of tuition only, and cannot be combined with other scholarships offered through Institute.

For more information about scholarship availability or to apply, please contact your individual state organization directly. If your state organization is interested in becoming involved with the SPS Program, please contact the Institute office at 202-463-5570.
