Educational Foundation

"Promoting excellence in the insurance industry by underwriting the education of current and future employees."

Founded by the National Association of Insurance Women (International) leadership in 1992 and incorporated as a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit in 1993, the NAIW Education Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Scholarships are awarded in two categories, College and Professional.

College Scholarships: Offered to students majoring or minoring in Insurance, Risk Management, or Actuarial Science, awarded annually in June.

Professional Scholarship: Awarded three times each year, in October, February and June. The number of scholarship applicants has grown substantially over the past nine years. Scholars do not have to be NAIW members, can be male or female, and do not need to be currently employed. Professional scholars can pursue courses, designations or degrees. This helps unemployed insurance professionals re-train themselves to fill available positions, including those positions available at your company.
