FEDERATED INSURANCE LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP

Federated Insurance, Owatonna, MN has made a gift to St. Olaf College that will allow the awarding of a $1,500 scholarship for the academic year 2011-12.

To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, students must currently be a JUNIOR (class of '12) with a declared major in MATH, ECONOMICS or COMPUTER SCIENCE or a concentration in MANAGEMENT STUDIES, and a GPA of at least 3.0.

As an organization that prides itself on EQUITY, TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY AND RESPECT, Federated Insurance will expect that students who apply can demonstrate their commitment to these cornerstone principles. Federated has a long history of COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE to others and, as such, students applying for these scholarships should demonstrate a similar orientation.
