Scholarships
Institute for Organization Management is proud to offer a variety of scholarships to participants each year. Each scholarship is evaluated with the same criteria and is awarded based on an evaluation of an applicant’s financial need, involvement in industry professional organizations, community service, and professional background.
All information must be submitted prior to the designated deadline to be considered for a scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be notified prior to registration launching.
To find additional resources regarding financial assistance, please take a look at Institute’s Enrollment Incentives section below.
All discount codes, including scholarships, must be applied at the time of registration. If you are applying for a scholarship, please do NOT register until after you’ve received your application results.
Scholarships offered through Institute:
Institute’s National Scholarship
Any participant that is attending Institute for the very first time may be eligible for a National Scholarship. Each Institute site awards one scholarship worth $500 toward a first-year tuition. The applicant’s organization must be a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Regent Scholarships
The Regent Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to both first-year and returning participants. Each year, these are awarded in varying amounts to assist with tuition. Regent Scholarships are made possible by donations from generous volunteers and participants to Institute site-specific silent auctions, and other on-site fundraising opportunities. All attendees are eligible for the Regent scholarship.
Please Note: The use of discount codes is only valid at the time of initial purchase/registration, and codes will not be accepted after registration has been submitted. Refunds will not be authorized for existing registrations under any circumstances.
If you have questions about your eligibility for a particular scholarship program, please contact the Institute office at iom@uschamber.com.
State Partner Scholarships
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 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.

Enrollment Incentives
Effective for 2026 Winter Institute, the registration process is changing. In an effort to create a smoother registration process for all, attendees will now select their registration track based on their organization’s U.S. Chamber membership level.
The Premier Investor Discount (PID) enrollment incentive has been factored into the tuition fee for each applicable registration track. Additionally, the Group Pricing and Fast-Tracking enrollment incentives have been combined into one Multi-Site Discount, where the $300 discount applies after the organization enrolls their first attendee at the base price in the same calendar year. Scholarships will continue to be stacked with the Multi-Site Discount. Contact the Institute Office at iom@uschamber.com to request a discount code, which is required during the registration process in order to receive the Multi-Site Discount.
Attendees will need to have their U.S. Chamber membership information – both level and membership number – in order to complete their registration and can email iom@uschamber.com if they do not know this information. Non-Member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce attendees will select the track for Non-Member.
