Organization of Latino Actuaries 2025-2026 Academic Scholarship: Now Open!
The application deadline for the Organization of Latino Actuaries (OLA) 2025-2026 Academic Scholarships is coming up on March 31, 2025. As a reminder, OLA will award academic scholarships up to $7,500 to Latine students who are interested in pursuing the actuarial profession. For more information on the actuarial profession and what it takes to become an Actuary, check out https://www.beanactuary.org/what-is-an-actuary/.

OLA Scholarship Applicants will automatically be considered for a Travel Sponsorship opportunity to get travel/lodging expenses paid to attend the OLA Avanza Conference in San Diego, California, from August 13-15, 2025! This includes an OLA-exclusive in-person career fair, networking events, and more.

If you submit this scholarship application before February 28, 2025, you do NOT have to apply for Travel Sponsorship separately using the OLA Avanza Conference Travel Sponsorship-specific application. This includes OLA Scholarship applicants who are not selected in an earlier decision round as their application will be waitlisted and continue to be considered in later decision rounds. Be considered for two excellent opportunities with just one application!
