PIA
and the Society of Certified Insurance Counselors continually endeavor
to help insurance professionals become the best that they can be. How?
By offering scholarships to deserving individuals in the insurance industry.
About
the Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded to first-time participants, especially
those interested in attending all classes in a program and earning the
designation. Candidates should be strongly committed to continuing education
and a career in insurance. Scholarships are applicable only to CIC institutes
held in New Jersey until the end of 2009.
CIC
Scholarship requirements:
•Applicant
must be new to the CIC program.
•Applicant’s employer must be a member of PIANJ.
•Applicant must be employed full-time in the insurance industry.
•Must be licensed as an agent, broker, solicitor or
•Have at least two years of full-time experience as a practitioner

member at an accredited college or university.
What
do scholarships include?
Scholarships cover the fee for one institute in NJ. They do not include
costs for hotel, meals, or miscellaneous expenses.
All scholarships
have one thing in common – they help motivated individuals
further their careers through additional education that is current
and practical.
And they provide a long-range benefit to the insurance community, by
encouraging and training new agents and promoting career advancement
within agencies and companies.
