“We are extremely proud of these extraordinary young people selected to receive a PHC Foundation Scholarship Award,” PHC Foundation president Mark Simons said.

The scholarships were presented during the 21st Annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony held at Chubb Bermuda and attended by PHC Foundation donors, family, friends and guests who celebrated the positive accomplishments of the awardees.

Among the guest speakers was Bermuda Football Association president and former PHC player, Mark Wade, who is delighted by the amount of scholarships being awarded this year.

“This year is the biggest with 18 applications received and 14 successful scholarship recipients. I don’t know if you can appreciate how huge that is,” he said.

“It took commitment, know-how and tireless enthusiasm. All values which are still exuded by the present committee. Mark Simons, O’Shandah “Shandy” Ming, Marquel Waldron, Tawana Fox, Robert Richardson, Ray Glasford and Kevin Warner are fantastic stewards of the foundation who together have served 87 years.”
