Butterfield Increases Scholarship To $30,000
Butterfield has increased its Bermuda Undergraduate Scholarship award to $30,000, and noted that applications are now open.
A spokesperson said, “Butterfield has increased its Bermuda Undergraduate Scholarship award to US$30,000, an increase of US$5,000, and applications are open. The scholarship is tenable for up to four academic years and provides financial assistance to outstanding students who are pursuing a first college or university degree on a full-time basis overseas.
“Offered every year since 1978 in honour of Butterfield’s late Chairman, Sir Harry D. Butterfield, the criteria for selection includes academic excellence, community involvement and sporting attainments, financial need, and a candidate’s demonstrated ability to lead. Eligible students are invited to apply via the Bermuda Scholarships website.”
Andrew Burns, Butterfield’s Group Head of Human Resources, said, “The Bermuda scholarship is one we are particularly proud of as it has been running for more than four decades and we are pleased to ensure it maintains its appeal by increasing the financial reward. It is testament to Butterfield’s continued commitment to support our local community and invest in its future.
“Later this year we will also be recruiting for graduate trainees and our summer student employment programme, both of which provide young people in Bermuda an opportunity to gain professional experience and build industry connections as they look to progress their careers.”
