The Pacific Life Foundation has awarded five $15,000 college scholarships through Life Happens ( www.LifeHappens.org ) and its annual Life Lessons Scholarship Program to aid the financial burden of students who have lost a parent without life insurance.

Recipients include Leah M., Nathan C., and Chloe H. from California; Treyten S. from Nebraska; and Audrey C. from Virginia.
“The Pacific Life Foundation and Pacific Life employees are deeply connected to the Life Lessons Scholarship Program as it demonstrates the importance of life insurance and its role in protecting families’ financial security,” said Tennyson Oyler, president of the Pacific Life Foundation. “The loss of a parent is unimaginable, and these children and young adults are faced with a new world of responsibilities, including financial burdens. We greatly appreciate and admire their vulnerability in sharing their stories.”
