Westfield Insurance Scholarship in Risk Management and Insurance
The Westfield Insurance Scholarship in Risk Management and Insurance was established in April 2018 as a non-endowed fund to offer financial support to University of Akron College of Business Administration (CBA) students preparing for careers in risk management and insurance.
Westfield was founded in 1848 in Westfield Center, Ohio by a small group of hard-working farmers who believed in the promise of the future and the power of the individual. Today, as one of the nation’s leading property and casualty (P&C) companies, we remain true to their vision and are dedicated to your protection and prosperity and to the progress of our community.
