These scholarships were established in 2023 to recognize and celebrate the importance of diversity and inclusion in the actuarial profession and society at large.
Their commitment to fostering the future generation of actuaries, promoting math literacy and ensuring the long-term financial stability of all Canadians is central to these scholarships.
