The OLA Academy (OLAA) is taking applications!  Take advantage of the OLAA resources and videos to learn how to write an actuarial resume, how to successfully interview and network, among other things. OLAA was created to help Latine actuarial candidates navigate and succeed in their job and internship search process.

OLAA participants are eligible to participate in OLA’s events with actuarial employers.  Also, participants can apply to the OLA virtual career fair and are eligible to apply to OLA’s Travel Sponsorship program to attend industry conferences!  Become one of our many success stories!

OLA is a community that keeps growing in both membership and support from allies, corporate sponsors, and partners.

OLA supports Latine actuarial candidates who are pursuing the actuarial profession and have not yet begun to take exams. OLA will award a First Time Exam Taker Stipend to candidates who need financial support to get their actuarial exams started.  This includes half of the exam fee for exam P or FM and a stipend for exam study material.  OLA is happy to be able to lessen the financial burden for candidates who need this aid so that they can focus on studying!

Applicants need to sign up to the OLA member portal to be able to apply. It’s free!

Need financial help to buy study material for your actuarial exams?  OLA helps Latine actuarial candidates with the cost of study exam material and a portion of the exam fee for up to three of the preliminary exams outlined on the application.  We are conscious that some students and their families are under financial strain and we hope that this program will benefit Latine candidates who need financial help complete their first three exams as they pursue their actuarial careers.

Passing exams is not easy!  Most actuaries have failed one exam or more along the way!

Failure does not indicate a person’s inability to become an Actuary, especially failing with a grade of 4 or 5.  For this reason, OLA wants to encourage students who were very close to passing exams P or FM to continue to pursue this career.  If you recently failed exam P or FM with score 4 or 5, and are willing to attempt again, you are eligible to apply!

Applicants need to sign up to the OLA member portal to be able to apply. It’s free!
