2026 Student Scholarship Application
On behalf of the ICT Education Foundation, welcome to the Fall 2026 semester! We hope the academic year has kicked off with great success. The ICT Education Foundation is offering you an opportunity to apply for a scholarship offered to students who are interested in pursuing a career in property and casualty insurance.
Applications for the 2026 ICT Education Foundation scholarships are now open, and you may apply immediately. We are accepting online applications until midnight on Friday, Oct. 9, 2026. We will notify scholarship recipients no later than the week of Nov. 16, 2026.
To apply, students must complete the online form, providing contact information, academic achievements, GPA, involvement in Gamma Iota Sigma or other professional organizations, and a brief statement of interest about their property and casualty-related career goals. The process is straightforward and should take about 30 minutes to complete. Please ensure all information is accurate and well presented, as this will be crucial in the review process.
Here is more about the scholarship criteria and amounts:

- Ten - $2,500 scholarships
