Actuarial science scholarships are open to students who are declared actuarial science majors and have taken or are currently enrolled in at least one 400-level actuarial science course. Applications for 2022-23 scholarships are now open and are due November 21, 2022. For more detailed instructions, see the application form.
Engage in creative and critical thinking, while applying calculus, statistics and probability. Let CWU help you prepare for one of the top-ranked jobs in America!
An actuary uses specialized mathematical skills from probability and statistics to define, analyze, and solve financial and social problems. Actuaries create and manage insurance programs that reduce the adverse financial impact of both expected and unexpected things that happen to people, such as illnesses, accidents, and death. In addition, actuaries design pension programs, making sure there are sufficient resources to pay retirement and death benefits while also charging participants in the insurance or retirement plan a fair price.
The Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science listed below is designed to prepare a student in both the mathematics and business areas necessary for success in the rigorous but rewarding actuarial profession.
