TESTIMONIALS HEADLINE
“The Parks Family Society Insurance Scholarship was established for the children or grandchildren of employees of Society Insurance to help them begin their higher education journey. Society Insurance and it’s employees were a blessing to me as I ended my insurance career as it’s CEO. We wanted to show our appreciation for years to come by helping family members of employees. Also, both of us were only able to attend college due to scholarship programs, and we wanted to pass along the same opportunity to others. Years from now we hope a future CEO of the company is a recipient of this scholarship!”
