Bermuda College Fall 2026 Scholarships
Bermuda College is encouraging students to explore scholarship opportunities that can significantly reduce the cost of education and support their academic and career goals.
A spokesperson said, “Students are being encouraged to explore scholarship opportunities that can help reduce the cost of study and support their education and career goals.
“Bermuda College said the scholarships available through the institution support both new and existing students across a range of programmes.
“The awards also reflect the College’s wider role in helping students access the education and training they need to move forward.
“A number of scholarship opportunities are available, including awards linked to academic achievement, specific fields of study and wider student development.
“Among them is the Bermuda Chess Scholarship, which supports students in the Business Administration or Actuarial Science programmes and recognises chess aptitude and leadership in chess-related activities.
“The scholarship is based solely on demonstrating an aptitude for chess, alongside critical thinking, analysing options, decision-making, restraint and the ability to work under time pressure, skills seen as important in international business.
“Academic performance is not a requirement. The scholarship is worth $10,000.
“The James King Culinary Arts Scholarship will award $5,000 annually to one Culinary Arts student.
“The Bermuda College Education Award, administered by Chubb which was the first company to offer a scholarship specific to a College graduate for future studies, is open to suitably qualified Bermuda College graduates enrolled in at least the third year of a four-year degree, or the second year of a three-year UK degree, at an accredited university.
“The award provides $15,000 a year towards tuition and fees for up to two years immediately following graduation from Bermuda College.
“The Bermuda College Athene Scholarship will support up to five students each year and covers tuition and fees, books and materials.
“The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit and financial need.
“Successful recipients will receive funding for the time needed to complete their associate degree programme, provided they maintain a GPA of 3.00.
“Most scholarship opportunities open on April 1 for the Fall 2026 term.
“Students can apply for the Chubb and Athene scholarships through the Bermuda Scholarships website, www.bermudascholarships.com.
“The deadline listed for the Chubb Scholarship is April 17.
“Ms Deanae’ Miller, Financial Aid Officer at Bermuda College, said support was available on campus for students who needed help navigating the scholarship process, identifying opportunities they qualify for, or simply gaining the confidence to apply.”
She added: “While some students stop by each semester to check which scholarships they are eligible for; the number of completed applications I receive does not match the interest.
“Also, in many cases, the biggest barrier is simply the assumption that they will not be selected. The reality is that scholarships cannot be awarded if students do not apply.
“There are real funds available that can significantly reduce the cost of education, and students should not count themselves out before even trying.”
Ms Miller said: “These scholarships are an important part of Bermuda College’s commitment to supporting students and helping them pursue their educational goals.
“They can make a meaningful difference by opening doors and easing some of the financial pressure that can come with continuing education.”
A spokesperson added, “Financial aid is also available for students who may need broader support in addition to scholarship opportunities.
“Students interested in learning more about scholarships and financial aid can contact Ms Miller at financialsupportservices@college.bm or call 236-9000.”
