Applications for Julius Baer Guernsey’s undergraduate bursary scheme – which supports a local student during their time at university – are open until the end of May.
The private bank recognises that investment in education and skills development in Guernsey is vital, which is why they are once again inviting students to apply to their bursary scheme.
The bursary provides funding and work experience to a student applying to undertake an undergraduate degree. Although the subject does not have to lead to a career in finance, those students who choose an economics or financially focussed course will be given preference.
Max Tostevin and Zac Taylor have previously been chosen for the Julius Baer bursary through their creative applications, presented as part of the shortlisting process. Max utilised his experience as a part-time scaffolder, relating this to the financial sector, while Zac’s presentation emphasised the economics of tennis and padel, highlighted how padel is rapidly overtaking grassroots tennis.
Mona Sone (pictured), Head of Human Resources at Julius Baer Guernsey, said: “It’s great to be able to bring the bursary scheme back for a third year. Young people are vital for Guernsey’s industry, with this scheme we can help them learn about the industry first hand as well as financially aid them through their studies.”
The scheme will include a minimum six weeks of paid summer work during the student’s university course where they will benefit from on-the-job learning through working closely with Julius Baer’s experienced teams, a buddy to offer help and guidance during their time spent working at the bank, in addition to £2,500 per year of their course.
Applications close on 31st May 2025 for the academic year 2025/26. Following a selection process, the successful candidate will be notified before the new academic year begins.
