Milliman awards 20 Opportunity Scholarships in program's sixth year

SEATTLE, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, is pleased to announce the recipients of this year's Opportunity Scholarship program.

The program was created to assist students from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in the fields of actuarial science, data science, computer science, economics, programming, mathematics, statistics, data analytics, or finance.

This year, Opportunity Scholarship recipients include 20 students from colleges and universities across the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom who have demonstrated academic excellence and plan to pursue a career in actuarial science or related fields.

"The Milliman Opportunity Scholarship helps students progress academically and meet their career goals," said Milliman CEO Dermot Corry. "Recipients will also have the opportunity to build experience and professional connections through our Scholar Internship Program, which started last year.
