The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and TurksLegal have opened submissions for this year’s Claims Scholarship.

Now in its 10th year, the program recognises excellence in general insurance. Entrants must submit a 2500-word paper addressing one of five questions.

The winner can choose either an overseas conference package valued at up to $8000 – including registration at the Claims Conference & Insurance Services Expo in Orlando, Florida, with return flights, accommodation and $500 spending money, or $5000 cash and registration to the Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters/ANZIIF Claims Convention in Australia, including return flights and two nights’ accommodation.

Applicants must be residents of, and based in, Australia and work in the general insurance industry.

Applications close at 5pm on October 9, with the winner announced at the ANZIIF General Insurance Breakfast in Sydney on December 6.
