Scholarships in Bermuda

There are universities and colleges in Bermuda with a number of scholarship opportunities, particularly those that prepare you for scholarships in Bermuda. One of the biggest is the Rhodes Scholarships, which gives out one of these each year to students who have excelled and have done so in their chosen field.

There is also the Marshall Scholarships, which are honours scholarships awarded to students from all countries but particularly from Commonwealth countries, by merit of their school records and achievements.

Additionally, there is the Gates Cambridge Scholarship Programme for high-achieving university graduates from Commonwealth countries, including Bermuda. This offers 50 full scholarships at Cambridge University as well as 20 smaller bursaries.

Bermuda students may find that the University of Oxford offers a number of scholarships to help with their studies. The three main Oxford schemes are: Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and Gates Cambridge Scholarships.

You can apply for this scholarship if you are a Bermuda student, and you want to study at the University of Oxford. You may be able to apply for other scholarships through the University as well.

There are only a few specific courses that you can apply for with this scholarship. You must be ready to start your course before you can apply for a Rhodes Scholarship. If you go on to take another course, it may not be funded by the Rhodes Scholarship.

You can find out more about this scholarship on the official website, where you will also find details of how to apply.

Once you have completed your application form, it is important that you submit it in time for the deadline date. The deadline varies from year to year but is always in October or November.

You cannot use any other scholarships or grants when applying for this type of funding from Oxford University. You must make sure that all of your applications are submitted in time so that they can be reviewed by the examining panel before your course starts at university level.

Applicants must have worked or resided in Bermuda for more than five years in total (not necessarily consecutively) since birth, unless they have resided outside Bermuda because their family was posted there by Government, international business or other similar organisations which employ Bermudian staff abroad. Scholarships may only be held at Oxford and are for two years only (unless you are reading for a DPhil, in which case it can be held for three years). Students who already hold an undergraduate degree from Oxford do not qualify for consideration. You must have graduated from your first degree before October 2017. You should normally apply to take up your scholarship at Oxford in October 2018.

Do you want to go to University?

There are many reasons why people attend University or College. It is a natural step to take after completing your secondary education and there are many benefits for those who do:

• A degree does not guarantee you a job but it does make your employment opportunities much more diverse.
• Most people with a degree earn more than people without a degree over their lifetime.
• It is often said that university or college is “a time of personal growth” because you will be living away from home, meeting new people, learning from different lecturers, using the library and finding out how to manage your money and time much better.
