Applications are being accepted for Butterfield Bank’s 2025 undergraduate scholarship and paid summer internship programme.

The Bermuda Undergraduate Scholarship, offered every year since 1978 in honour of Butterfield’s late chairman, Sir Harry D. Butterfield, awards $30,000 to an outstanding student who is pursuing a first college or university degree on a full-time basis overseas and has an interest in financial services.

The scholarship is tenable for up to four years and there is an opportunity to work at Butterfield during the holidays and upon graduation, if a suitable role exists.

The bank said the criteria for selection includes academic excellence, community involvement and sporting attainments, financial need, and a candidate’s demonstrated ability to lead.

Eligible candidates are invited to apply via the Bermuda Scholarships website before the end of March.

The summer internship programme, scheduled to run between June and August, will see interns gain hands-on experience in the financial services industry and work alongside seasoned professionals in their fields.

During their time, Butterfield said, they will undergo formal training, contribute to meaningful projects and enjoy a close mentoring relationship.

Applicants should be enrolled full-time in university or college with an interest in financial services.
