Professional Scholarship
Applications: Check Them Out!!
There are several "named" professional scholarships available: Canal Insurance
Company, CPCU-Loman Education Foundation and the ISFA general scholarship fund.
A candidate does not have to apply for a specific scholarship. The professional
application on the ISFA website is the only application required. The
Scholarship Review Committee and the Foundation’s Board of Directors will select
candidates for a specific named scholarship based on the criteria for that
award. Submitting a general scholarship application is all that is necessary.
Should a candidate request consideration for a specific named scholarship it
would not exclude them from consideration for another scholarship should their
application match the criteria.
ALL applications must be submitted on the published form, found on the
Foundation’s website: http://www.inssfa.org/,
or your application will not be considered. Mail applications and all supporting
documentation to: Insurance Scholarship Foundation of America, P.O. Box 866 ,
Hendersonville , NC 28793-0866 . Applications are available online at
http://www.inssfa.org/. If you have any
additional questions about applying for an ISFA professional scholarship, please
email us at
foundation@inssfa.org .
