C5 Alliance has announced that Michael Borman will be the sixth student to benefit from its annual bursary scheme.
Following his A Level results, 18-year-old Michael will now attend the University of Liverpool to study computer science in September. He previously attended the Guernsey Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre and studied A Levels in maths, physics and computer science.
Michael is yet to decide whether to pursue a career in software engineering, robotics or business driven technology.
The number of applications for C5 Alliance’s bursary scheme is growing year-on-year. Offering both financial support and the opportunity to work during the summer, the scheme enables students to develop interest in a technology career.
The panel of judges that assess each bursary application felt that Michael had clear, practical experience that could be utilised by, and contribute to C5 during his degree.
Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Simon Tidd, awarded the bursary and said: “We chose Michael because his dedication to his career stood out and we truly believe that the bursary will make a material difference to him and his studies.
“C5 has a track record of investing in local students who have an interest in technology, evidenced not only through our bursary but our graduate academy that trains entry-level candidates on a wide range of industry sectors. Our business is continually evolving and offers diverse career opportunities, so it’s important to engage with the future of the industry and provide them with a development path. I wish Michael the very best of luck with his studies and congratulations on his excellent results.”
Michael added: “I’m really thankful to have been awarded this bursary as it’s going to be a great help at university. I’m looking forward to start working at C5 in the holidays so I can discover more about technology and gain some invaluable skills for the future.”
