RSM Cayman creates new scholarship programme
RSM Cayman has announced the launch of the RSM Scholarship Programme.
According to RSM Cayman on its website, the scholarship is to be awarded each year by the company to a Caymanian who possesses outstanding character and academic abilities.
The scholarship is tenable at a competitive university selected by the candidate and approved by the RSM Scholarship Committee. RSM will provide financial assistance up to $30,000 per annum to undergraduate students to complete a first degree over a period not exceeding four years until the recipient has completed the minimum educational requirements to qualify to pursue a professional license.
Applications will be accepted from February 15, 2023 to April 15, 2023. Interviews will take place in early May for the shortlisted candidates and the RSM Scholarship Committee will award the scholarship on or before May 31.
All scholarship recipients, should they qualify, agree to pursue full-time employment with RSM for a minimum period of three years after they have completed the educational requirements in their course of study. In addition, each recipient will be expected to sign a contract accepting the terms and conditions of the RSM Scholarship Program.
