The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and the Insurance Council of New Zealand Te Kahui Inihua o Aotearoa (ICNZ) have announced submissions are open for the 2022 ICNZ and ANZIIF Scholarship.

The program offers New Zealand-based insurance professionals a prize of up to $NZ10,000 ($8946.65) to attend an industry-related international conference or developmental seminar.

Eligible applicants are required to be a direct employee of a member of ICNZ, have a permanent residency in New Zealand and be under the age of 35.

Entrants are asked to submit a 2500-word essay answering the question, "How might climate change pose a reputation risk to insurers? How might that risk be managed?"

Submissions close on November 8, and the winner will be announced at the ANZIIF Breakfast Dinner in Auckland in May next year.
