The IRUA Scholars Committee invites interns and recently graduated employees of IRUA member companies to participate in our annual Scholars Essay Program. Participating scholars will submit a 3,000-4,000-word white paper on an industry-relevant topic of their choosing, with the winning entries earning monetary prizes to help offset their education expenses.
For the 2025 program, we welcome applications from individual authors as well as multiple individuals working together as co-authors, each of whom must meet the eligibility criteria.
