Bermuda College students receive Athene scholarships
Seven Bermuda College students awarded 2022 Athene Scholarships for this fall, were acknowledged at a reception held by Athene Holding Ltd and subsidiary Athene Life Re Ltd.
The Athene Scholarship covers full costs of each student’s associate degree programme and the required books.
Athene, a retirement services company, said the programme is designed to help build the future workforce in Bermuda in areas that align with business needs.
It is available to Bermudian students attending Bermuda College who have financial need and meet a minimum GPA requirement.
The scholarship supports students pursuing associate degrees in accounting, actuarial science, business, economics, finance, human resources, information technology, insurance and risk management, legal studies or mathematics.
Natasha Scotland Courcy, SVP, chief operating officer, general counsel for ALRe said: “Celebrating our scholarship recipients is always an exciting time for Athene.
“We believe all students deserve an education to build a strong foundation for their future and have seen that vision come to fruition through our scholarship programme.
“We take immense pride in our role in developing the next generation of talent. As these students begin seeking employment, we hope to be their top choice as they continue developing their talents after the completion of their education.”
Dr Duranda Greene, Bermuda College president, congratulated the students, thanked Athene and said: “These students have distinguished themselves academically and the generous scholarships remove financial barriers, thus enabling the students to focus on their studies as they pursue the next steps on their educational journey.”
