In 2019, TWUC introduced an Educational Scholarship Program to provide learning opportunities for underwriters in their early to mid-careers who are passionate about expanding their underwriting skills and knowledge. In honor of the many contributions of founding TWUC member, Liz Collier, we are excited to announce the scholarship has been renamed The Liz Collier TWUC Scholarship.
TWUC is no longer accepting applications for the 2023 Liz Collier scholarship - thank you to all of the applicants who expressed interest in the scholarship program. We will announce when we are accepting applications for our 2024 scholarship!
Congratulations to our 2023 scholarship recipient:
Ana Ramirez from National Western Life Insurance!
A little background on the scholarship recipient:
“I was born in Monterrey, Mexico and came to Texas when I was 13. I started working at National Western Life in November 1999 in the International Mail Department, then I was invited to join the International Client Services Department. In 2008, I had the opportunity to join the Underwriting Department. After 10 years and two promotions, I’m a Senior Underwriter and I love my job! I’m married and have two kids. I like to go on walks, travel and serve at my church.”
