Casualty Actuarial Society offers 2007 CAS Trust Scholarship

The Casualty Actuarial Society is once again accepting applications for 
its scholarship program for college students pursuing a career in 
actuarial science. The CAS Trust Scholarship program, funded by donations 
to the CAS Trust, will award up to three $1,500 scholarships to deserving 
students for the 2007-2008 academic year.

Applicants must be a permanent resident of the U.S. or Canada, or have a 
permanent resident visa, and admitted as a full-time student to a U.S. or 
Canadian educational institution to be eligible. Applicants must also have 
demonstrated high scholastic achievement and a strong interest in 
mathematics or a mathematics-related field.

Recommendations, transcripts, actuarial exam results, work experience, and 
written essays will all be considered in selecting the award recipients. 
Preference will be given to applicants who have passed at least one 
actuarial exam. Additional details and applications are available online 
at http://www.casact.org/academic/index.cfm?fa=scholar_apply. Applications 
are due by May 1, 2007 and winners will be notified in July.

The intent of the scholarships is to further students' interest in the 
property/casualty actuarial profession and to encourage pursuit of the CAS 
designation. Established in 1979, the Casualty Actuarial Society Trust 
affords CAS members and others an income tax deduction for funds 
contributed and used for scientific, literary, or educational purposes.
