RG Scholarships would like to congratulate all of Bermuda’s scholarship winners for 2024 and wish you the very best in your future endeavours
The pages of this year’s RG Scholarship Winners magazine is full of not just success, but also triumph over doubt, inspiration, hard work, and generosity. Generosity from Bermuda’s companies and institutions who provide so many scholarship, mentoring and internship opportunities, but also generosity from the students themselves, many of whom haven’t just worked hard for themselves, but have also found time to serve their community and help each other with their applications.
Bermuda may be small, but it is full of young people with hopes, dreams, and the desire to give back to their island home. Many are leaving to experience the world, with the hope of bringing new skills and ideas back. Others, through their chosen education and career paths, want to pursue journeys that will help to make life better for other people. Some are following their dreams and just seeing where that takes them.
In the 2024 issue of RG Scholarship Winners magazine, you can read about some of this year’s successful scholars, who share their stories and advice for future applicants. In particular, they all say: “Just apply”, because there are so many different opportunities available, as well as numerous resources to support Bermuda’s students.
One of these many resources is the recently established Longtail Learning, founded by university students, for future university students. This provides a free tutoring service as well as a university and scholarship mentoring scheme.
You can also read about successful scholars from years gone by, who share how receiving a scholarship helped them to achieve the degrees and careers they always hoped for. There is also advice about securing internships, which can boost your CV ahead of life post-university.
Leaving school and going on to university or college is a huge step with much to consider before you go, including budgeting, taking good care of yourself, and administration. Help and advice for this can also be found within our magazine.
All that said, to everyone who was awarded a scholarship this year: Congratulations. To everyone about to start a new university or college, or begin a new academic year, we wish you the very best in all that you do and plan to achieve.
