The foundation’s scholarship program partners with member firms of The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers, using firms’ summer internship programs to introduce students from across the country to both the property/casualty and employee benefits sectors.

Upon the conclusion of their internship, students must formally be nominated by the respective brokerages at which they interned, and an independent committee then determines awardees. The ultimate goal is to expose the upcoming young professionals to the industry’s vast opportunities and to keep them in the business—and, ideally, in Council member firms—after graduation.

Interning at AssuredPartners Aerospace opened my eyes to the amazing opportunities in the insurance industry. Before the summer, I had never considered insurance as a potential career path. After a few weeks in the APA office, I knew it was for me. I was able to learn from seasoned professionals who created a great environment for me to learn and grow. I’m so grateful for everyone who invested time into my professional development, and I can’t wait to see where my career in insurance takes me.
