The students all received The Frederick Sydney Smith Scholarship and Bursaries, awarded annually to help Bermudian students attend Albert College in Belleville, Ontario.

Recipients of scholarships included Vincent Richardson, Karli Smith, Imani Myers and Suella Matthews. Bursaries were awarded to Nelson Heyliger, Jason Eddy, Tareek Somner, Kara Smith and Fatima Brown.

The winners of the awards have been attending Albert College since September this year.

Albert College was established in 1857 and offers a co-educational, academic programme to students between the ages of 12 and 19. It boasts a Bermuda alumni of 80.

The scholarship was established in memory of Frederick Sydney Smith, a Bermudian who died on December 4, 1978.

Mr. Smith, who attended Albert College in his youth, was an accomplished sailor of fitted dinghies for more than 25 years and a life-time employee of A-1 Grocery Company.

A trust was established in Mr. Smith's name by the Will of the late Anne Laura Smith.

This is administered by the Bermuda Trust Company Limited and provides funds for scholarships and bursaries.

The awarding of the scholarships are based on academic achievement, citizenship and personal interests, be they music, art, athletics, or student leadership.

Student must complete the admissions procedure and be accepted by Albert College prior to being considered for the Frederick Sydney Smith Scholarships and Bursaries.

There is no scholarship exam so decisions are based on school reports, resumes and a personal interview with the Selection Committee.

The amount of the awards may vary from $5,000 to $20,000 and are renewable each year provided the student maintains good academic standing, participates in school life and makes a positive contribution socially.
