Relm launches scholarship programme to support future talent

Relm Insurance has unveiled scholarship programmes in Bermuda and at the University of Miami, aimed at building structured education-to-employment pathways for students pursuing careers in insurance, risk and emerging industries.

In addition to financial support, both scholarships offer paid work experience with Relm, including a 12-week programme and opportunities to work during summer and Christmas breaks.

Relm is supporting academic engagement at the University of Miami through its involvement in the Business of Blockchain and Tokenization Conference, hosted by the Miami Herbert Business School. The annual conference brings together researchers, industry practitioners and policymakers to examine commercial and regulatory developments shaping blockchain and tokenisation.

The University of Miami partnership marks a new step in Relm’s academic engagement, extending its approach to talent development. Alongside this, the BFIS scholarship enters its fourth consecutive year, reflecting Relm’s continued involvement in Bermuda and its focus on long-term participation in the local insurance market.

Joseph Ziolkowski (pictured), CEO and founder of Relm Insurance, said: “Access to high-quality talent is one of the most important drivers of emerging industries. Programmes like these are designed to be practical, connecting education with real commercial experience and giving students direct exposure to how risk, regulation, and innovation intersect. Over time, investment in initiatives like this strengthens not just Relm, but the broader insurance ecosystem.”

Victoria Cunningham, executive director, BFIS added: “Relm’s ongoing engagement with BFIS demonstrates the value of long-term partnerships that invest directly in people. Programmes like this ensure Bermudian students are not only academically prepared, but industry-ready, with an understanding of risk, regulation, and innovation in practice. We are proud to continue this partnership as we develop the next generation of Bermudian (re)insurance professionals.”
