AHOU is dedicated to pursuing various educational opportunities. We are pleased to provide an educational scholarship award to mid-career underwriters who show an interest in expanding their technical and leadership knowledge base. This important initiative was developed and supported by a task force of underwriting industry leaders to ensure achievement of a scholarship award that would provide the greatest opportunity to underwriting professionals in the early stages of their careers!
