Philadelphia, PA (October 15, 2019) —
Time is running out to apply for the RMA Foundation
Scholarship for college students pursuing careers in the financial services
industry. Candidates must complete their applications for the scholarship before
3 p.m. CST October 21.
Since the RMA Scholarship was created in 2015,
the Risk Management Association Foundation has awarded 331 scholarships
totaling over $867,000.
“The RMA Scholarship is a valuable opportunity
for financial services-focused students to not only supplement the funding of
their educations, but also to be recognized as candidates for recruitment to the
financial services industry,” said Lisa McBride, CRC, RMA’s Director of
Professional Development. “College students pursuing financial services careers
are strongly encouraged to complete an application for the RMA Scholarship at http://www.rmahq.org/src/scholarships.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.”
The RMA Foundation was created and funded by
The Risk Management Association, a not-for-profit, member-driven professional
association whose sole purpose is to advance the use of sound risk management
principles in the financial services industry.
The Foundation was launched to address
concerns about a financial services talent gap, as the industry is faced with
baby boomer retirements and competition for graduates from tech and other
sectors.
By guiding some of the best and brightest into
financial services, RMA hopes to ensure the vitality of the industry now and
into the future.
