BHS student wins McGill Bermuda Scholarship
An 18-year-old who was a Bermuda High School pupil has been awarded the McGill Bermuda Scholarship 2024.
The McGill Bermuda Scholarship Trust said that Bethany Cooze was on course for a bachelor of commerce at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
Her early exposure to business came with the 2020 KPMG Investment Challenge, in which she was a winning participant.
She completed her International Baccalaureate Diploma with a final score of 41.
Ms Cooze studied mathematics, economics and English at higher level, and French, biology and chemistry at standard level.
She also successfully completed nine IGCSEs with top scores.
A spokesman for the trust said: “Ms Cooze has been active in the community, having volunteered as a Candy Striper at the Bermuda hospital and more recently having worked as a surf lifeguard for the Bermuda Lifeguard Service.
“She intends to develop her interest in accounting applications from within the McGill Desautels Accounting Society and as a member of the McGill Entrepreneurship Society.”
The McGill Bermuda Scholarship Trust was established in Bermuda in 1989 and offers the Dudley and Deborah Butterfield Scholarship and the McGill Bermuda Graduates Scholarship in alternate years.
Each awards the scholar $6,700 a year for up to four years of study in a degree programme at McGill University.
