Texas Insurers Group Honors 26 Students with Spring Scholarships

The Insurance Council of Texas (ICT) Education Foundation awarded 26 students at five Texas universities, $21,000 in academic scholarships.

The students attend the University of Houston Downtown, the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas Southern University in Houston, the University of Houston-Main campus and the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg.

The recognized students are either seeking a degree in insurance or risk management or taking courses in the subject.

Each student received a scholarship and will be invited to attend ICT’s annual Mid-Year Symposium in Austin on July 9, where insurance industry leaders gather to hear an update on the Texas marketplace. Each year, all Symposium corporate sponsorships and individual donations go to the ICT scholarships and school funding.
