Two Students Bring a First to the College

The College of Business recently announced that two students from the Department of Finance and Insurance became the first to win scholarships from the Wholesale and Specialty Insurance Association (WSIA).

Senior Bryson Fink is the recipient of WSIA’s Michael J. Snead Memorial Scholarship and senior Logan Krause is the recipient of WSIA’s Scott W. Polly Memorial Scholarship. Both scholarships are $5,000 and will further the study of insurance and encourage, support and reward those exceptional students, such as Fink and Krause, who have an interest in an insurance career.

“We are thrilled for Bryson and Logan,” said Dr. Brenda Wells, professor and director of the College’s Risk Management & Insurance Program. “WSIA is very supportive of higher education in risk management and insurance, and for that, we are extremely grateful.”

“This scholarship means a lot to me,” said Fink. “It will help me pay for the 2018-2019 school year. Also, it is a tremendous accomplishment to be able to receive such an honorary scholarship.”

Here’s a short video of Fink talking about his new scholarship.

Krause’s scholarship marks his second since the beginning of 2018. In the spring, Krause was awarded the Risk and Insurance Management Society’s Anita Benedetti Student Involvement Program Scholar.
