BILTIR awards $30,000 scholarship to CedarBridge student
Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurers (BILTIR) has awarded a $30,000 scholarship to former CedarBridge Academy student Taiyana Allen.
Allen will study at Georgia State University in the J. Mack Robinson College of Business’s Dual Analytics Programme for a Master of Science in data analytics and a Master of actuarial science.
The BILTIR Education Award is part of the Association of Bermuda International Companies (ABIC) Education Awards Programme. The programme was launched in 1977 and has helped more than 600 Bermudian students to pursue full and part-study at overseas colleges and universities.
Ronnie Klein, executive director at BILTIR, highlighted Allen’s intention to return to Bermuda to work in the long-term insurance business as an actuary after graduation. “I fully expect that our 62 members will be competing for her services at that point,” he said.
Allen said: “It is an honour to know that so many people believe in me and want me to pursue this next step in my educational journey. This is an amazing opportunity and I hope to one day be a part of a Programme that will give opportunities like this to students with similar career aspirations.”
BILTIR represents 62 long-term insurance, reinsurance and servicing companies in Bermuda who provide life and annuity products and employ 540 people on the island.
