Auto Owners
Excellence in Insurance Scholarship
This account was created in January, 2000, through a contribution by the Nashville Branch Office of the Auto Owners Insurance Company. Subsequent donations have augmented the initial gift.
The purpose of this scholarship is to attract highly qualified students into the insurance program, to familiarize them with the theory of insurance and the language of the insurance contract, to emphasize to them the vital role of insurance licensing and professional designation exams. Criteria to receive the scholarship are that the applicant:
Be a major or minor in
Be enrolled or have completed Fin. 3610, General Insurance
Have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher
Pledge membership in the Gamma Iota Sigma Insurance Fraternity
Agree to accompany Dr. Hollman to the scholarship presentation
Be enrolled for at least six hours per semester
Scholarships are available in the amounts of $1,000 for insurance majors and $750 for insurance minors at the beginning of either the Fall or Spring semester, but not both. The scholarship is renewable annually if the indicated GPA is maintained and other requirements are met. Selection for the awards will be under the direction of Dr. Kenneth W. Hollman, Dr. Emily Zietz, and Dr. Charles Baum, with input from the donor as appropriate.
