AssociationABICEA of International Companies Education Awards

ANNUAL LUNCHEON Wednesday, July 20th, 2016 2016 Celebrating 39 years Celebrating 39 years

Over 540 Students And Many Success Stories

From the earliest days of Bermuda’s emergence as a top international centre, the need for world-class employees was obvious.

In 1977, Bermuda’s international companies took steps to create a Bermudian pool of talent to participate in this growing sector. Education was the key, and their effort launched what now ranks as the largest post-secondary scholarship program in Bermuda: the ABIC Education Awards.

The Education Awards are sponsored by annual donations from international companies in Bermuda. As the sector has grown, so has the size and scope of the program. It now stands out as a first choice for companies looking to invest in Bermuda’s future.

The mission is to enable qualified Bermudians, in financial need, to pursue their undergraduate or graduate educational goals in areas related to international business. The hope is that they return to the Island to help build the international business sector.

Selection is based on a combination of the applicant’s financial need and academic ability. The awards are given only to students pursuing higher education at accredited degree-granting colleges and universities. Students in the program have attended universities in Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe and Australia.

The year the awards were established, there were four recipients. Awards are now given to about 15 - 20 students annually. More than 540 students have been provided with two year scholarships – many of them in leadership positions in international business, or in the industries supporting it. In the last ten years alone, ABIC companies have donated $5 million to the program.

The largest corporate contributors to the program each year are designated with “Corporate Named Awards” in the name of the corporation. This creates a direct connection between the company providing the award and the student. Students are encouraged to treat this as a mentoring opportunity – a chance to obtain career guidance and advice from their corporate sponsors.

ABIC, with the generous support of its members, will continue to help secure Bermuda’s future by investing in Education. It is one of our most important priorities, and one that we are fully committed to. Welcome 1

ABIC has inspired me to give back and help others on their career paths in the international business sector.”
