Faulkner University and Thompson Insurance, Inc. have partnered to create new opportunities for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Risk Management and Insurance (RMI). On July 18, 2025, the two organizations signed agreements to establish both a scholarship and an internship program within Faulkner’s Harris College of Business and The Stumbaugh School of Risk Management & Insurance.
One agreement formalized the Thompson Insurance Internship Program, while another created the Thompson Insurance Scholarship, which will provide annual financial support to one qualified, full-time RMI student.
The scholarship is designed for traditional students entering their junior or senior year in the RMI program. Applicants must be enrolled full-time, maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA, and remain in good standing with the university. Candidates will also complete an application process that includes submitting recommendation letters and participating in an interview.
The Thompson Insurance Internship Program will offer rising juniors and seniors the chance to gain valuable, hands-on experience in a professional setting. Paid internships will be hosted at Thompson Insurance’s Montgomery location, beginning in the summer with full-time hours and continuing through the fall and spring semesters on a part-time schedule.
“Thompson Insurance’s support is a tremendous investment in our students and in the future of the insurance industry,” said Faulkner University President Mitch Henry. “These opportunities give our students real-world experience that will enhance their education and prepare them for meaningful careers in risk management and insurance.”
