Scholarship Program
As a member of the Western National Insurance Group, we at Umialik think it’s important to ensure the leaders of tomorrow get the strong education they need today. That’s why we introduced a scholarship program designed to ease the financial burden that college costs put on the families of our employees and independent agency partners. The Western National Insurance Scholarships provide $24,000 annually in merit-based awards to eligible students planning to begin or continue full-time undergraduate study in the fall of that year. It’s just another way that our company is working to guarantee the success of our hard-working students and the vitality of our communities for generations to come.
Our group's 2024 scholarship application period is now closed. The application link for the 2025 Western National Insurance Group Scholarship will be available in February 2025.
