This scholarship directly supports my journey as I continue my education in an accelerated MBA program while completing my bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems. It allows me to focus on developing the skills needed to inspire and lead through innovation, technology, and leadership development, and to ultimately make a meaningful impact in my community and beyond.”

“This scholarship allows me to continue investing in my education while staying deeply involved in leadership and service on my campus,” said Angie Moreno Sosa with Delta Sigma Pi of the University at Albany. “It’s a reminder that my hard work is seen and that there are organizations willing to support students who are committed to making a difference.”

“Since launching this scholarship program in 2022, our goal has been to expand awareness of the meaningful and diverse career paths within the insurance industry,” said Hart. “It’s a privilege to support these students on their educational journeys, and we’re honored to help provide resources that move them closer to achieving their academic and professional goals.”
