The Actuarial Foundation
Category: Education
DescriptionThe Foundation, the philanthropic vehicle for the actuarial profession, provides grants for underserved populations with an emphasis on children in grades 4 through 12. Under its Advancing Student Achievement program, the Foundation seeks to support mentoring in classrooms across the United States. It awards monetary grants to schools in the United States and Canada to develop a viable mentoring program involving the use of actuaries in the teaching of mathematics to children in private and public schools. The program brings together actuaries and educators in local classroom environments with the belief that interaction with real-world mentors will boost students’ interest and achievement in math. Eligible schools are those that are willing to involve local actuaries as volunteers. Any local school is eligible to apply for funding. Collaboration among school systems, local actuarial clubs, corporations, and other stakeholders is encouraged. Preference is given to innovative programs that don’t replicate existing grant programs. Additional information is available on the Web site.
