As he presented the scholarships, Mayor Gosling stated, “The City of Hamilton is pleased to establish two Engineering scholarships. This is the first time we are offering them. We are doing it to encourage young Bermudians to enter the field. The City, together with many local companies in Bermuda, know there is a need for qualified Bermudian Engineers and the demand will continue to grow.”

Mayor Gosling added, “It is anticipated that by offering these scholarships more students will consider Engineering as a career option. On behalf of the Members and staff of the City of Hamilton I wish these young men good luck in the upcoming school year. We look forward to working with them when they return during school breaks at which time they will gain valuable work experience. We also hope they will consider the City as an employer once they graduate.”

    It is nice to see young Bermudians being offered another scholarship but I wonder why this scholarship was not listed on the number one site for Bermuda scholarships, bermudascholarships.com. I know at least two students who would have applied for this, if it was listed on this website that all local students
    are referred to by most of the local organization giving scholarships.

    Hopefully, not year the Corporation would posted their scholarship on the site.

    I wish both students all the best.
