BDO Jersey has announced the opening for applications of the Chris Start Bursary for 2026.
The bursary scheme was initially established in 2024 to honour the legacy of Chris Stuart, former head of Audit and a valued leader at BDO Jersey and aims to
support local students through financial aid and professional development opportunities.
The bursary scheme provides £15,000 over three years, including paid placements and mentoring at BDO Jersey, emphasising support beyond financial aid. The
bursary commemorates Chris Stuart’s dedication to mentoring young talent and embodies his commitment to growth and development.
Alison Dryland, Group People Director of BDO Jersey, commented: “We are honoured to continue Chris Stuart’s legacy through this bursary. Chris was deeply
committed to nurturing the next generation of talent and this bursary is a testament to his values. We are excited to once again offer this opportunity to students who share his passion for growth and development.”
