The Standard partners with the University of Texas at Dallas to increase access to the actuarial science program

The Standard announced a new partnership with the University of Texas at Dallas to provide a scholarship for students pursuing a degree in actuarial science who need financial assistance.

The scholarship provides a renewable four-year award of up to $5,000 per year for a student planning a career in actuarial science. In addition to financial support, the scholarship program offers a paid internship at The Standard, allowing the student to earn money in a part-time role during the school year or over the summer.

“The Standard Scholarship for Actuarial Science at UT Dallas is an important investment in the future. It reinforces our company values, supports our recruiting efforts and helps energize and strengthen our actuarial community.” – Lauren Canfield, executive vice president, chief corporate actuary and chief risk officer at The Standard.

“We are deeply grateful to The Standard for this investment in our students and the future of the actuarial profession. This scholarship program will help talented students overcome financial barriers while gaining the rigorous preparation and real-world experience needed to succeed as actuaries. Partnerships like this expand access to our nationally recognized actuarial science program and empower the next generation of risk and data professionals.” – Dr. David Hyndman, dean of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at UT Dallas.
