12 Students Receive BPSU Education Awards
The Bermuda Public Services Union [BPSU] hosted their 29th Annual Education Awards Ceremony which saw the BPSU Education Committee present twelve recipients with awards.
A spokesperson said, “At the presentation, President Bro. Armell Thomas highlighted the important role the community plays in supporting the further development of its citizens. Acknowledging the support he personally received throughout his studies, the President encouraged this year’s recipients to continue this trend by finding ways to give back to others once they have completed their education.
“BPSU Education Committee Chair Bro. Kevin Grant emphasised the Union’s ongoing commitment to providing financial support to both its members and their dependents for furthering their education. Reflecting this commitment, the Union has granted over $710,000 to students since the inception of this initiative in 1993.
