Tranter-Leong Fellowship
A fellowship opportunity for ICMA members to take part in global knowledge exchange and professional development.

The Tranter-Leong Fellowship aims to:
Enhance the professional development for the ICMA member.
Further the local government management profession.
Encourage ICMA membership and international affiliate relationships.
The ICMA Global Engagement Committee traditionally awards two fellowships of $5,000 each from the Tranter-Leong Fund per application cycle. One fellowship is for those who seek an experience in Asia and another fellowship is for those who seek an experience elsewhere, other than the United States or Canada.
John Garvey Scholarship Fund
A scholarship to help emerging leaders participate in global knowledge exchange.
Description
The John Garvey Scholarship Fund allows young professionals to participate in global knowledge exchange through attendance at a local government management event in a country other than their home country. The ICMA Global Engagement Committee offers two scholarships of up to $3,500 from the John Garvey Fund to applicants who meet the requirements. One scholarship is designated for a U.S. citizen and the other for a non-U.S. citizen. If no applications are received from one or the other of these categories of potential applicants, two scholarships may be awarded within the same category.
