Dear Colleague,

I am writing to you on behalf of the NAIFA-Arkansas Trust Fund. This fund was established in 1975 by the Arkansas National Association of Life Underwriters, which was founded in 1890. In 1991 the NALU changed the name to the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors to reflect its broader scope beyond life insurance.

NAIFA advocates for its members as well as the public interest, provides education, and training, promotes ethical business practices, and offers networking opportunities for financial professions.

The Arkansas NAIFA Trust Fund was established to provide a monetary scholarship to students majoring in insurance and financial services. The universities selected in 2025 to receive scholarships are the University of Central Arkansas, University of Arkansas, and Williams Baptist University.

We will be working with these institutions to select the most qualified Junior/ Senior Student who displays a career interest in our industry.  

Our objectives in the future would also be to coordinate with local high schools to provide literacy programs concerning the economic benefits of insurance and financial services, the role it plays in family finances, business situations, and estate planning.

We all realize that funding these programs is vital and we would like to give you an opportunity to give to the Trust Fund so that we will continue serving students.

Donations may be made by check or online using the QR code below. Please make checks payable to NAIFA-Arkansas Trust Fund and mail to:

We appreciate your time and look forward to your participation.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Trust Fund.

Best,
