The MPI Foundation prides itself on helping our members grow professionally through industry education. Due to COVID19, the Foundation has redirected funds towards distressed members. As such, we are not reviewing scholarship applications until further notice

We are fortunate to have the Events Industry Council (EIC) continuing to provide CMP education. For those seeking their CMP, EIC is providing relief in the amount of $50 USD for the initial application, and $50 USD for the certification examination fee for those who have been affected by COVID-19 and are furloughed, have their position eliminated or are experiencing a salary reduction. Contact certification@eventscouncil.org to request your relief code.
