Sixteen college-bound students were recently awarded $2,000 scholarships from OneBeacon Insurance Group.

The scholarship recipients — eight children of OneBeacon employees and eight children of the company’s distribution partners — were selected based on criteria such as academic performance, leadership roles and participation in school and community activities.

Since its inception in 2003, OneBeacon’s program, which is funded by the OneBeacon Charitable Trust and managed by Scholarship Management Services, has awarded 288 students with college scholarships.

“We are pleased to support the education and growth of our future leaders through this scholarship program. OneBeacon is proud to honor these scholarship winners for their successes and talents. We wish them all the best as they begin their college studies,” Mike Miller, president U.S. and specialty solutions, said in a news release.
