Chosen from a very talented and competitive group, Marcus and Kenji exhibit the strong work ethic and determination that we have come to expect from Validus Scholars. We are delighted to support them as they continue, and begin, their academic careers.
Norma Trott, Senior Vice President and Director of Human Resources adds “Validus remains committed to helping Bermuda’s students achieve their educational objectives. This year is also extra special as we have not only selected two winners, we are also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Validus Student Program which the scholarship winner has an opportunity to participate in during their school breaks.
