Submissions have opened for the annual Aon Benfield Scholarship, organised in conjunction with the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF).

The winner will travel to London for Aon Benfield’s 53rd annual Global Clients Reinsurance Seminar in September.

The scholarship aims to strengthen links between Australian and New Zealand insurance professionals and their international counterparts.

Applications are open to Australian and New Zealand permanent residents or citizens with at least two years’ experience in insurance or reinsurance. Entrants must write a 2500-word essay discussing growth opportunities in the “non-insurance gap”.

ANZIIF CEO Prue Willsford says the scholarship is a chance to build business networks, continue professional development and increase industry knowledge.

Applications close on June 26. For more information, click here.
