The deadline for applications for a bursary for financial services degree students has been extended by a month to 20 June.
The Jersey branch of STEP is funding the bursary to mark the 25th anniversary since the organisation was established in the Island.
The bursary, in the sum of £12,000, will give financial assistance to three students studying in Jersey for a financial services degree for the academic year commencing September 2017. These can be first, second or third-year students.
There are currently two financial services degree courses available in Jersey – the BA (Hons) Financial Services offered by University College Jersey (Highlands) and the BSc (Hons) International Financial Services offered by Jersey International Business School. But there are currently no bursaries specific to students studying for those courses.
‘Whilst there has been an encouraging amount of interest in the bursary, students have to complete an essay and personal statement in support of their application so we have extended the closing date to allow them more time to prepare,’ explained Oana Crisan STEP Jersey’s Student Liaison Officer. ‘STEP is committed to supporting professional development at this level and we look forward to presenting the award during the summer.’
The bursary will be divided into three awards of £6,000, £3,500 and £2,500.
