The Surety Foundation Internship and Scholarship Program

The Surety Foundation, the educational arm of The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA), would like to announce the opening of the competition for Academic Year 2015-2016 internships and scholarship awards under the Surety and Fidelity Industry Intern and Scholarship Program for Minority Students.

This Program provides awards of up to $5,000 to outstanding undergraduate minority students to support their studies in the areas of insurance/risk management, accounting, economics, or business/finance and to encourage their consideration of the surety and fidelity industry and surety/fidelity underwriting as a career choice. The Surety and Fidelity Industry Scholarship awards are funded by annual grants from SFAA, and additional funding from member companies, local surety associations, current and retired individual surety professionals, and others. The internships are paid for by the participating member companies.   The program, established in 2003, is administered through The Surety Foundation, which was established by the SFAA Board of Directors in 2005 to serve as the vehicle to fund and administer these activities.

The students also can download PDF versions of these materials  by going to:  www.thesuretyfoundation.org.

Deadline to apply is January 31, 2015.
