About Curtis E. Huntington, FSA, MAAA, FCA, MSPA

Curtis E. Huntington, FSA, MAAA, FCA, MSPA (1942-2013) was known for his inspiring enthusiasm for the actuarial profession and for his incredible dedication to his students. He served The Actuarial Foundation as a Trustee and as Chair of the Actuarial Research Committee, which managed the Individual Grants Competition and The John Culver Wooddy Scholarship program. After retiring from New England Mutual Life Insurance Company as Vice President and Corporate Actuary in 1993, Huntington returned to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, where he worked tirelessly to help students receive the financial assistance they needed. The Curtis E. Huntington Memorial Scholarship was established to recognize the remarkably positive impact Huntington had on his students and on the actuarial profession. Given Huntington’s 30 years of service to his students, it is only fitting that the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship continues in his name.

About the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship

2013 was the final year for the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship. Since its inception in 1996, the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship established itself as a distinguished scholarship well-known for targeting top candidates in the actuarial field. Affectionately known by many as “the Wooddy Scholarship”, it was awarded annually to college juniors and seniors who successfully completed at least one actuarial examination, ranked in the top quartile of their class and were nominated by a professor at their school. Each year, selected students received $2,000 scholarships. Established by the estate of the generous and forward-thinking actuary, John Culver Wooddy, the John Culver Wooddy Scholarship awarded 138 scholarships totaling close to one quarter of one million dollars. To date, 57 of those 138 recipients have gone on to receive an actuarial designation. During its funding years, the John Culver Wooddy Estate ensured a legacy of actuarial excellence with the lives that have been touched by this scholarship.
