Calling all undergraduate and graduate black students pursuing actuarial careers! The International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA) has recently launched its Scholarship and Boot Camp applications!
IABA Scholarship
In 2017, IABA awarded $93,000 to 28 students. The scholarship award (ranging from $3,000 – 5,000) also includes a trip to IABA’s Annual Meeting and a stipend for passing exams during the award period. Many scholarships also come with an internship or entry-level offer from some of the industry’s leading employers.

IABA Bootcamp
The IABA Actuarial Boot Camp is the premier program for transitioning black actuarial students to the actuarial industry. The majority of past attendees report that the Boot Camp was instrumental in confirming their interest in the career and helping them through the interview process. In many cases, they were introduced to their employer through their Boot Camp participation. Visit the website for more information (https://blackactuaries.site-ym.com/page/2018IABABootCamp)
