Impact Program Scholarship

NIGP is providing members with scholarships to participate in the Impact program at the Leadership Summit, February 19-21, 2026, in Tucson, Arizona. Impact is NIGP’s latest event offering that is designed to meet the leadership development needs of our mid to senior leaders.

These scholarships are geared towards individuals who would otherwise not attend due to lack of funding. Awardees will receive a scholarship of $895 to cover the Impact registration fee. Please note, the scholarship does not include travel and expenses related to the in-person event. These expenses will need to be covered by you or your entity.

We are grateful to our government partner Sourcewell for offering this scholarship and aiding NIGP’s mission to develop, support, and promote our members.
