Education
Athene believes all students deserve an education and recognizes the importance of investing in our future leaders.
Athene's educational initiatives include programs varying from early education to supporting students in their pursuit of higher education, thus the formation of the Game Changer Scholars program.
Game Changer Scholars Program
The Game Changer Scholars program is committed to help ensure all students have the option to pursue their most important life goals. The program is one way Athene supports education initiatives that benefit students who live in Iowa.
The program is sponsored by the Athene Charitable Foundation and administered by Scholarship America.
Forty Iowa high school students were named to the third annual class of the Athene USA Game Changer Scholars. In the third year, the program had 26 students renew their scholarship awards. These students come from towns and cities across the state and represent the next generation of individuals who will help drive change in our communities.
