IAEM Scholarship Program

The International Association of Emergency Managers awards competitive scholarships to students pursuing an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree in emergency management, disaster management, or a closely related field. Undergraduate applicants must be enrolled full time; graduate students may attend full or part time. Students anywhere in the world may apply, and applicants must still be enrolled in school when awards are made.

Recent awards have ranged from about $1,500 to $4,000, and the Robert C. Bohlmann, CEM, Scholarship goes to the highest-scoring undergraduate applicant each year.

Applicants follow the checklist for their student category and email all materials, including essays, transcripts, and references, to the scholarship administrator. The 2026 application window ran March 31 through May 31.
