The Foundation has distributed over $1 million in scholarships to 127 children of members and corporate sponsor employees to assist in their pursuit of higher education.

After 25 years of giving, the Leo Gilmartin Scholarship (academic merit) and the Financial Aid Scholarships (family financial need) have been discontinued. The Foundation mission changed in 2020 to “support tomorrow’s diverse professional liability workforce,” with the focus shifting to populations that are underrepresented in the industry and in senior management. Programs that no longer align with this mission, such as the existing undergrad scholarships, have been discontinued.

Existing scholarships are secure and will continue to be paid until the last scholars graduate in 2023. The PLUS Foundation and the benefactors listed to the right have been proud to support the fine young men and women who have been recipients of Foundation scholarships.

LEO GILMARTIN SCHOLARSHIP

These scholarships have been funded by the PLUS Foundation since 1995 and were awarded based on scholastic merit and extracurricular activity.

Recipients: 102 children of PLUS Members and children of employees of PLUS Corporate Member or sponsor company. 

FINANCIAL AID SCHOLARSHIPS

Consistent with our previous mission of philanthropy and the advancement of education, the Foundation Board of Directors supported PLUS families and students with greater financial needs.

Scholarships were awarded based on family financial need and proof of average to above average high school performance.

These scholarships were made possible by the personal donations of leaders in our industry.

Recipients: 25 children of PLUS Members and children of employees of PLUS Corporate Member or event sponsor company.
