“The Bermuda Government’s Bursary Awards programme offers financial support and recognition to outstanding individuals who have shown commitment, perseverance and potential in academic studies that align with the future needs of the service.
“We are seeking individuals who are pursuing a varied, dynamic and fulfilling career in the public service and we encourage young people to apply for this year’s bursary awards.”
The deadline for applications is September 27.
Bursaries are valued at $20,000 per annum; not exceeding five years.
