The Insurance Society of Philadelphia (ISOP) is committed to supporting the growth of the insurance industry’s next generation of insurance professionals.
We do this by annually awarding undergraduate scholarships
and continuing education grants to students in the Delaware Valley engaged in the study of Insurance, Risk Management, Actuarial Science and/or professional development to support their career growth.
Undergraduate
scholarships may be applied for and are awarded in the spring each year. The continuing education grant may be applied for at anytime and is limited to employees of ISOP Member companies. The applications are reviewed and
awards determined as they are received.
All funds awarded are provided directly to the student and may only be used for a qualified tuition and related expenses.
