The $2,500 scholarship is awarded to a student considering a career in the risk management and insurance industry.  Three annual scholarships have been awarded from contributions made by industry leaders.

“This is another indicator of a high-quality program, and we’re proud Brooke was recognized for her work in the classroom,” Dr. Carol Jordan , Eminent Scholar in Risk Management and Insurance, said. “We are working hard to identify the best internship possibilities and scholarship opportunities for our students. These co-curricular activities will further enhance our program.”
