Julius Baer Guernsey’s undergraduate bursary scheme – which supports a local student during their time at university – is now open until the end of May.
The bursary will provide funding and work experience to a student applying to undertake an undergraduate degree. Those students who choose an economics or financially focussed course will be given preference, although the subject does not have to lead to a career in finance.
Mona Sone, Head of Human Resources at Julius Baer Guernsey, said: “It’s great to be able to bring the bursary scheme back for a third year. Young people are vital for Guernsey’s industry, with this scheme we can help them learn about the industry first hand as well as financially aid them through their studies.”
The scheme will include a minimum six weeks of paid summer work during the student’s university course where they will benefit from on-the-job learning through working closely with Julius Baer’s experienced teams, a buddy to offer help and guidance during their time spent working at the bank, in addition to £2,500 per year of their course.
Previous applicants, Max Tostevin and Zac Taylor who have been previously chosen for the Julius Baer bursary scheme, were highlghted because of their creative applications, presented as part of the shortlisting process.
Mr Tastevin utilised his experience as a part-time scaffolder, relating this to the financial sector, while Mr Taylor’s presentation emphasised the economics of tennis and padel, highlighted how padel is rapidly overtaking grassroots tennis.
Julius Baer employs more than 120 staff in Guernsey and offers a range of financial services, including discretionary portfolio management and investment.
Applications close 31 May 2025 for academic year 2025/26. Following a selection process, the successful candidate will be notified before the new academic year begins.
