STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program
The primary goal of the STEM Stars Program is to increase representation and inclusion of individuals from social, cultural, and economic backgrounds who have historically been underrepresented in the actuarial profession. Through this unique program, we empower and equip students with tools that will make them stand out as industry professionals, and connections they can rely on in their future careers.
