Students receive $48,000 in scholarships from OneBeacon
More than 300 students have benefited from OneBeacon's scholarship program since its inception in 2003.
Sixteen college students each recently received $3,000 scholarships from OneBeacon Insurance Group to use towards their higher education in the fall.
The 2020 award recipients include eight children and grandchildren of OneBeacon and The Guarantee employees and eight children of OneBeacon’s distribution partners.
Since OneBeacon began its scholarship program in 2003, more than 300 students have received awards. Intact Charitable Trust funds the program and Scholarship America®, a nonprofit scholarship program administrator, manages the award.
“Broadening the scholarship program eligibility and increasing the gift amount were exciting changes for us as it emphasizes our commitment to expanding access to education,” Mike Miller, president of U.S. and specialty solutions, said in a press release. “We’re proud to be a part of this year’s winners’ academic journeys through supporting their growth and experiences. Although for many, the upcoming school year may look different, we wish them all the best as they begin their studies either from home or inside the classroom.”
