Education

A focus area of the Chubb Charitable Foundation 

Introduction

Chubb’s support for scholarships and other educational programs, funded through the Chubb Charitable Foundation, helps to open doors of opportunity for women and men, children and adults, to reach their full potential. Our educational philanthropy is also one of the tangible ways we advance our commitment to support racial diversity and inclusion in the broader community and our industry.

Focus Area

Higher education that creates opportunity

Education opens pathways of opportunity for individuals to reach their full potential. Educated citizens and an educated workforce are also essential for the social development and economic growth of communities and nations. The Chubb Charitable Foundation’s commitment to higher education is realized through a series of scholarship programs that benefit students with financial need, including people of color.  

 

Providence St. Mel School

The Providence St. Mel School Scholarship Fund aims to increase opportunities for students with the greatest need by providing an accessible and affordable college preparatory education at Providence St. Mel School. Chubb’s support for the scholarship fund enables students to afford, attend and remain at Providence St. Mel.  This vital scholarship funding increases access to enriched educational programs and increases the academic trajectory and college attendance rates of children on the West side of Chicago.

Focus Area

Training teachers to serve underserved communities

The Chubb Charitable Foundation is helping to support the expansion of educational opportunities around the world through its support of Teach for All, a global network of more than 40 independent, locally led and governed partner organizations that enlists promising leaders to teach in economically disadvantaged, high-need communities for two years, and, in the long-term, drive systemic changes in their community.

 

Teach For All

Teach For All network partners are working to address the many challenges and barriers facing students globally. Chubb’s partnership with Teach for All provides support for its global leadership development programs as well as directly supporting network partners in countries where Chubb has significant operations. This includes training institutes in Colombia and Mexico and a Teach For Thailand grant to help ensure participants’ impact on student growth while cultivating a thriving alumni community.

Chubb’s investment in Teach for America increases its efforts to expand and support a diverse network of leaders who amplify opportunities for students in low-income communities. Teacher leadership development programming supports the training of incoming teachers in Los Angeles and New York and ongoing professional development opportunities are available for Teach for America members in the Greater Philadelphia area. Together we share a commitment in pursuing educational equity for children. To date, Chubb has provided $2.4 million in financial support that has helped recruit and train more than 2,300 teachers.

Focus Area

Funding scholarships that lift up diverse and talented students

Chubb understands that the dynamic social and economic roles that insurers play — assuming risk from individuals and businesses and pooling capital for long-term investments and infrastructure development — helps drive growth and opportunity. Because the insurance industry offers exceptional career opportunities, and also requires talented, capable and educated people to do this work, the Chubb Charitable Foundation funds scholarship programs that prepare students for employment in our industry.  The students we support are talented, diverse and have a demonstrated need for financial support.  

 

St. Joseph’s University

In 2004, Chubb created a permanent endowment fund at St. Joseph’s University to support a Faculty Chair with a gift of $1.5 million. The Brian C. Duperreault ’69 Chair for Risk Management and Insurance provides funds to underwrite the salary and research of the chair holder.

St. John's University – School of Risk Management

For the past 15 years, Chubb’s funding has supported the continuation and expansion of professional development within St. John’s University’s Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science. SJU’s programming seeks to offset gaps in economic or social advantages by ensuring access to professional developmental activities and professional credentialing for students. Further scholarship support aimed at retention of students facing undue financial challenges is also provided. Chubb has provided scholarship funding that has supported more than 400 students.

Chubb Bermuda College Education Award

Chubb and Bermuda College formed a partnership in 2008 with the goal of helping students make the connection between their studies and the workplace.  One component of this partnership is the Chubb Bermuda College Education Award, offered annually to a suitably qualified graduate of Bermuda College, with demonstrated financial need, entering at least their third year of a four-year (or a second year of three-year U.K.) degree program at an accredited university. The Education Award of $15,000 covers tuition and fees for up to two years immediately following graduation from Bermuda College. Over the past 15 years, Chubb has provided more than $500,000 in funding to support more than 20 students from diverse backgrounds. Our scholars have successfully completed their studies in fields ranging from insurance and risk management, actuarial science, dentistry, psychology and medicine, education and hospitality.
