As such, it is crucial for young professionals to enter the industry equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. To help support these future leaders, the DJ Bettencourt Scholarship for Insurance Professionals is now accepting applications from eligible candidates.

The selection process consists of an essay submission, with one recipient being chosen based on the creativity and quality of their work.
"We will select one recipient based on the essays of under 1000 words answering the following: 'The insurance industry in the United States has a lot of room for improvement. Describe an issue concerning insurance and how you think it could be solved.'" DJ Bettencourt said.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship is July 15, 2023, providing ample time for interested applicants to prepare their submissions. It is an chance for aspiring insurance professionals to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their ideas and passion for the industry.
