(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/06/12 -- Established in 2009, the IASA Insurance Industry Scholarship program is a demonstration of the association's commitment to aiding students at the sophomore level or above who are enrolled in a university with an insurance program and whose course of study includes working toward a degree in Information Technology, Actuarial Science, Accounting or Risk Management.
After a thorough evaluation process, IASA's Scholarship Committee has selected nine worthy candidates to receive the association's 2012 scholarships.
