The Sir Harry D. Butterfield Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded to a Bermudian student commencing, or already pursuing, an undergraduate degree overseas at an accredited university. This Scholarship has been offered every year since 1978 to honour Butterfield’s late Chairman, former Rhodes Scholar, Sir Harry D. Butterfield, whose distinguished career in public and business life was dedicated to the betterment of Bermuda and Bermudians. The award has an annual value of $25,000.
Lee Simmons, Chairman of Butterfield’s scholarship committee “Encouraging talented young Bermudians to dream big and achieve more is a key part of why, for so many years, Butterfield has offered scholarships for post-secondary studies.
Through the Sir Harry D. Butterfield Undergraduate, we’ve helped numerous students rise to their potential and inspire success in others.” Each year, Butterfield selects scholarship recipients from among hundreds of deserving applicants.
Criteria used in selecting scholarship recipients include academic achievement, financial need, character, leadership qualities, civic attainment and involvement and achievements in non-curricular activities, including the arts and sports. Mr. Simmons adds, “Congratulations to Clarke for being the successful recipients of the 2016 scholarship awards. I look forward to watching her progress through her academic career.”
