MetLife is once again offering scholarships to students interested in becoming actuaries

Actuaries play an important role in managing various financial risks of insurance companies and facilitating the prosperity and growth of the insurance sector. There are also attractive career opportunities for the actuary profession worldwide.

This is the only private-sector scholarship program for those interested in pursuing a career in actuarial science. This scholarship is particularly suitable for mathematics enthusiasts and those interested in applied mathematics, statistics, economics and financial analysis.

The scholarship is open to university students studying a variety of subjects and recipients are selected through a thorough evaluation. For selected students, MetLife Bangladesh will bear the full cost of Actuary study and certification including exam registration fee, annual membership fee, study materials, calculator, monetary award for successful completion of the exam and mentorship from a certified actuary.

Commenting on the scholarship programme, MetLife Bangladesh Chief Executive Officer Ala Ahmed said, “The interest in actuarial studies among students has been increasing over the years. But they are finding it difficult to realize their dreams due to lack of proper guidance. This scholarship will also enable those students to help achieve their dreams by providing mentorship and financial support to MetLife's talented actuaries," a news release said.
