Created in 1994, the Actuarial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that was designed to help facilitate and broaden the profession's contribution to society. The foundation accomplishes this by exploring innovative ways to have actuarial skills in the public interest.
There are several scholarships awarded by the foundation: the Actuarial Diversity Scholarship, the Actuary of Tomorrow – Stuart A. Robertson Memorial Scholarship, the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship, and the Caribbean Actuarial Scholarship.
The Actuarial Diversity Scholarship is an annual scholarship program for minority students (African American, Hispanic and Native American) that recognizes academic achievements of full-time undergraduate and graduate students.
The Actuary of Tomorrow – Stuart A. Robertson Memorial Scholarship recognizes and encourages the academic achievements of all full-time undergraduate students pursuing a career in actuarial science.
