Lipscomb University’s Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) and the Center for Nonprofit Management have teamed up to provide a full-tuition scholarship to the conflict management master’s degree program for a Middle Tennessean working daily to benefit society through nonprofit management.

This partnership provides recipients more than $45,000 in tuition from Lipscomb to earn a master’s of arts in conflict management. Lipscomb’s program is unique in the mid-south region, and was established by Lipscomb President L. Randolph Lowry, also the founder of the nationally recognized Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution in California.

Lipscomb University established the ICM to provide graduate and professional training in dispute resolution. Good conflict management skills defuse explosive situations before they end up costing an organization through litigation, loss of employees or loss of production. The ICM provides a practical benefit to Middle Tennessee individuals working in law, health care, ministerial work, education and law enforcement, as well as the community at-large.
