National organization awards scholarships to ULM students

Two University of Louisiana at Monroe risk management and insurance students were awarded scholarships by the local chapter of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors organization.

Landon Williams, a sophomore risk management and insurance major from Monroe, and Kale Shirley, a freshman risk management and insurance major from Winnfield, recently attended the monthly meeting of the group to receive the scholarships.

Dr. Ron Berry, dean of the College of Business, indicated that the organization has been a "great partner" for many years by providing annual scholarships to ULM RMIN students. 

“We very much appreciate the support this organization provides to our students.  Their scholarships help us attract and retain high quality students in our program and help introduce our students to the local financial services industry,” added Berry.

NAIFA is a national organization whose mission is to advocate for a positive legislative and regulatory environment, enhance business and professional skills, and promote the ethical conduct of its members.
