Paige Martin Awarded EY Gil Tucker Scholarship
S. Paige Martin has been selected as this year’s recipient of the EY Bermuda Gil Tucker Scholarship.
The scholarship will be used to fund her attendance at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada where she will pursue an undergraduate degree in accounting.
Upon learning of the news, Ms Martin commented, “I feel honored to be selected for the EY Bermuda Gil Tucker Scholarship and privileged to be a part of EY’s mission to create a better working world.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to return home after my studies and work for EY while creating a positive impact within our community.”
The scholarship was created in honor of Gil Tucker, who retired in 2015 and held the position of EY Bermuda country managing partner, for his contributions to EY and to the community in Bermuda.
