Butterfield has announced the recipients of its annual scholarships, including Mae Ingrouille from Guernsey who has been described as a "talented student" on a medicine degree course.
The scholarship is worth US$25,000 over the upcoming academic year and that can be maintained for up to four academic years.
Miss Ingrouille received the Butterfield Undergraduate Scholarship for Employees’ Children (Europe), one of three regional scholarships available to Butterfield employees who are parents or guardians of a student pursuing post-secondary education. Her scholarship funds will go towards her studies in Medicine at the University of Manchester.
A former student of the Ladies College, Miss Ingrouille is in her second year of her training to become a doctor.
Richard Saunders, Butterfield’s Managing Director, Channel Islands & UK, said: “Butterfield would like to offer huge congratulations to Mae who has set herself apart as an exceptional student and a valuable member of our local community. As Mae was previously a participant in our Summer Internship Programme, we are particularly proud to be supporting her and look forward to following her successes.
“Education is an important factor for economic growth, which is why Butterfield has invested almost US$2.5 million in scholarships since 2018. We hope to empower the next generation to pursue their academic ambitions and pave the way for their bright careers. In addition to the annual scholarship programme, we are pleased to also provide a path of other opportunities for young people, from the summer internships I mentioned to our graduate talent programme for those looking to pursue a career in finance.”
The scholarship programme offers financial assistance to a number of promising students each year based on academic excellence, community involvement and sporting attainments, financial need and a candidate’s demonstrated ability to lead.
