William S. Bicknell Actuarial Scholarship Fund

William S. (Bill) Bicknell

The table below tracts the growth of the fund since the campaign’s inception in 1985. The fund was created to honor the Actuarial Science Program’s long-time faculty member, Bill Bicknell. This scholarship fund is endowed; interest earnings from the fund are spent by the faculty on scholarships for students.

Long-time supporters of this fund may be interested to see again the 1987 Progress Report (in pdf format) by Bart Munson and Don Schuette.
