STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program

"This scholarship does mean a lot to me, especially financially. I’m very grateful that I was nominated for this. This scholarship will allow me to pay for school and make a difference in the world."

"I love exploring the real-world applications of mathematics and computer science. As part of the STEM Stars, I’m most looking forward to engaging with the bright and diverse actuarial minds."

"I’m immensely grateful and want to thank you for this generosity in funding this scholarship, as it will be a great help to me financially as I attend my dream school."

"The Actuarial Foundation’s support is incredible, from internships to scholarships, they open doors that may have seemed closed before. What excites me the most about this program is their emphasis on mentoring and training because as young individuals we often need guidance and support as we enter our career path. Thank you so much for believing in us and investing in our future."

"Having the ability to talk to and work with an actuary will be invaluable. Being advised, mentored, encouraged and guided by an actuary will be life changing."

"I’m so fortunate to have had this opportunity because actuarial science is a field that is very underrepresented in terms of diversity. This scholarship is very transformative, and life changing and can open up so many paths and opportunities within this field, not only financially, but in career guidance and skills."

"STEM Stars allows me to see firsthand experience into how the actuarial field is adapting to new avenues that are opening and how it relates to climate change, business startups and more."

"As a minority pursuing a STEM field, there’s such little representation of people with my background, and the STEM Stars program acts as a beacon of hope and change, to which I’m extremely grateful."

"The scholarship means a better chance and more opportunity in a career path that I’m very excited about. I’m excited to push my career and education forward with the help of STEM Stars."

"This scholarship will help me focus on my studies more without having to worry about the financial burden."

"Joining the program is beneficial for me because I have access to mentorship, tutoring, as well as extra guidance and assistance that some other programs do not provide."

"With this scholarship, I hope to spread the word about actuarial science to any other math lovers that didn’t have previous knowledge about it."

"I’m grateful to be a part of the STEM Stars program. Not only am I grateful for the financial benefits, but also the mentoring and job shadow opportunities."
