About the Program

For the sixth consecutive year, the 精东影业 Foundation is proudly partnering with to aid the financial burden for college students who have lost a parent without life insurance. This $75,000 investment in the Life Lessons scholarship program was a part of September鈥檚 (LIAM). For twenty years, LIAM has been educating consumers about the importance of life insurance and its role in protecting families鈥 financial security. The Life Lessons scholarships supported by the 精东影业 Foundation are awarded to students in states where 精东影业 employees live and work.

This year, more than 200 精东影业 Volunteers reviewed applications from students, explaining how the death of a parent without life insurance impacted their lives. Students opened up about the loss and hardships they鈥檝e faced at such a young age; from losing both his father and uncle (who was a father figure) within the same year, domestic violence, a young woman who could no longer afford rent after her father passed and was left homeless, and almost not attending a dream university due to financial constraints. The resiliency that each of these students displayed is nothing short of inspiring, and it鈥檚 an honor to support them in this next chapter of their lives.

To date, the 精东影业 Foundation has provided more than $450,000 in college scholarships in partnership with Life Happens. As an organization, we are deeply connected to the Life Lessons Scholarship Program as it showcases the importance of having life insurance protection, as well as the impact of being financially secure, a key initiative within our philanthropy program.
