AUSTIN — The Insurance Council of Texas’ (ICT) spring scholarships
and annual funding for students enrolled in insurance and risk management classes in Texas universities has
topped the half million dollar mark.
The program which began in 2002
with two schools has now provided
scholarships and funding to 241 students at ten universities.
Scholarships were awarded this spring
to students at the University of Texas Pan American, Huston-Tillotson
University, the University of Texas at
San Antonio, and the University of
Houston Downtown. Many of these
students will graduate this year, and
surveys have shown that more than
half of the graduates will land jobs in
the insurance marketplace.
ICT Education Foundation Chairman Tony Gonzalez said the scholarship recipients are the cream of the
crop. “Companies who are looking
for new employees don’t have to look
much further than ICT scholarship
recipients,” Gonzalez said. “These students have a huge interest in insurance, make the top grades and have
been recommended by their professors. These young men and women
will become tomorrow’s leaders in the
workplace.”
