STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program
More Than a Scholarship
There is clear and compelling evidence that a more diverse and representative workforce brings new perspectives and ideas and supports innovation, inclusion, and impact. The primary goal of the STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars 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.

STEM Stars is a new scholarship program from The Actuarial Foundation and Founding Partner the Society of Actuaries (SOA).
The STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program identifies, recruits and supports high school students who are skilled in math and interested in the actuarial field.
We provide support that begins in high school, extends into college and continues through an actuarial career.
The STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program offers high school seniors a $20,000 scholarship ($5,000 annually for four years).
Our Stars receive mentorship, networking opportunities, and exposure to internships, job shadowing, and other experiences that will prepare them for an actuarial career.
