The John Garvey Fund was established in 1995 following the recommendation of the ICMA International Committee to create a scholarship to help ICMA members gain an international management perspective. The ICMA International Committee offers two scholarships for each application cycle--one for a U.S. citizen and one for a non-U.S. citizen. Each scholarship is $3,500 and is to be used for a young professional (defined as age 40 or younger at the time of application) to establish international connections and experience an international event for local government professionals. This award is administered by ICMA’s Global Engagement Committee. Individuals with questions can contact Sophie Weyn, assistant program manager, Global Engagement at sweyn@icma.org.
