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.

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.
