The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) created the Shannon Bybee Scholarship program to honor the memory of Shannon Bybee, one of the IAGA founders, who had a distinguised career as a gaming attorney, state gaming regulator, gaming industry executive and pioneering educator in casino operations and gaming law.

The awards are made possible by a grant from International Game Technology, the world's largest gaming device manufacturer, through the assistance of David Johnson, Executive Vice President and General Council.
