Do you have unused end-of-year funds that have been allocated for professional development that are set to expire at the end of your fiscal year?

Instead of losing those resources, you can invest unused monies from this year’s budget for future training expenses through NIRSA.


Your campus can take advantage of NIRSA Institutional Credits Prepay Program.

The NIRSA prepay program allows you to purchase vouchers now for any denomination (greater than $400) and we’ll credit your professional or institutional account. NIRSA vouchers—valid through June of 2014—are transferrable and can be redeemed for annual conferences, institute or webinar registrations, and even new and renewing membership dues.
