About the Bernbaum Family Endowed Scholarship
The Bernbaum Family Endowed Scholarship was established in 2019 by Sanford (Sandy) Bernbaum, a UW alumnus (B.A., 1964 Business). Sandy had a close relationship with an actuary, who played a major role in his life - partly influencing Sandy's career in life insurance. When working with his financial advisor on some funds Sandy had available to donate, the financial advisor suggested supporting individuals at UW interested in actuarial studies (in honor of his friend). Sandy liked this idea, and thus the Bernbaum Family Endowed Scholarship at UW was established.
