OUTBermuda Launches New Education Bursary
OUTBermuda has launched a new annual education bursary, with the $10,000 award to be granted annually.
A spokesperson said, “Today, OUTBermuda launched a new annual education bursary. The island’s only LGBTQ+ charity is providing one education bursary, prioritizing financial need, to a member of the LGBTQ+ community in Bermuda attending the Bermuda College or an accredited international institution.
“The OUTBermuda Education Bursary will be granted annually for a value of $10,000, to one [1] applicant. The bursary funds are to be used to contribute to the costs of tuition, room and board, cost of travel, and course materials.”
“This bursary reflects our mission to assist members of Bermuda’s LGBTQ+ community with financial support towards reaching their potential for success in their chosen career,” said OUTBermuda Board Member Jameka Smith. “
“In keeping with OUTBermuda’s focus on empowerment and community building, we acknowledge and celebrate those in our community who may wish to further their studies. We want to support them; our ability to create equity is fundamental to who we are as a charity.”
Application information and details on this bursary can be found on OUTBermuda’s website at www.outbermuda.org and Bermuda Scholarships at www.bermudascholarships.com.
