Greensboro’s Arch Mortgage Insurance Company (Arch MI) has established the Arch MI Scholars at UNCG with a pledge to award scholarships to four deserving students in either the Bryan School or the College of Arts and Sciences during their junior and senior years.
The first Arch MI Scholar to be named? Sarah Robinson, a computer science major. “Thanks to my Arch MI Scholarship, I will be able to spend more time purely focusing on my academic goals and truly immerse myself in my studies,” she says.
The company is seeking a reliable employee talent pipeline, and the demographics of UNCG’s undergraduate student body are a good fit for this program. Arch MI CEO Michael Schmeiser says, “By providing scholarships, internships, and fellowship opportunities for these students, we can help make a difference in leveling the playing field for need-based students within our local community.”
Arch MI Scholars will be considered for paid internships and/or a one-year fellowship at the company post-graduation: a full-time, paid-with-benefits, entry-level position within the areas of actuarial, data analytics, accounting/finance, information technology, pricing, risk management, information systems analytics, business management, or economics.
Arch MI has a longstanding connection to UNCG, having offered its financial support to the University for more than 40 years. The company is also home to many UNCG alumni. Now, by funding the Arch MI Scholars at UNCG, the company continues to affirm this special partnership.
“The Arch MI Scholars program at UNCG is a win-win for both the University and Arch MI,” says Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. “UNCG’s students offer excellent talent that our region’s corporations value, and this innovative program will help propel many of our students to outstanding careers.”
