IIANC's Veterans Licensing Scholarship Program


Attention Veterans! Are you ready to begin a NEW career? We can help!

To show our support for the men and women of the armed forces who have served our country, IIANC is proud to offer a Veterans Licensing Scholarship Program. This provides all honorably discharged U.S. Veterans residing in North Carolina the opportunity to begin a rewarding career in the insurance industry by pursuing the education and training needed to receive a North Carolina Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance License - at no cost. Funding for the scholarship program is provided by the IIANC Education Foundation.*

*Valid for IIANC classroom only; candidates with previous insurance experience or insurance licenses do not qualify. Excludes adjuster licensing.

Why Choose a Career in Insurance?

The insurance industry is one of the best kept secrets in employment. It is a business that stimulates the economy, encourages business growth, backs investments, and has a real impact on individual communities - big and small. Obtaining an insurance license opens the door to many areas of the insurance business from sales or service to technology or marketing.
