The South Carolina Captive Insurance Association (SCCIA) has partnered with the Darla Moore School of Business on a US$100,000 endowment fund for students interested in captive insurance. The initiative aims to support the captive industry in South Carolina for decades to come, sustaining a vast pool of professionals for the industry, and attracting more captives to domicile in the state. By engaging students while they are enrolled, the SCCIA hopes to inspire and prepare the next generation of professionals and ensure those who are interested, qualified, and passionate do not face a roadblock to entering the industry based on financial status. Warren Miller, president of the SCCIA, states: “We are thrilled to have created this endowment with the Darla Moore School of Business to help promote and sustain the captive insurance industry in the Palmetto State. “I look forward to meeting the recipients of this scholarship and hope to one day welcome them as colleagues.” Annie Wilson, executive director of the SCCIA, adds: “We are anxious to see the fund's impact on our industry and the next generation of captive professionals in our domicile.” The SCCIA scholarship recipients will also receive complimentary registration and access to the association’s annual educational conference, networking activities, and the Captive Academy course, which introduces students to concepts and contacts they can use in any career they pursue.
