Successful scholarship recipients will have access to all that the Lift off Program offers:

The scholarship recipients will take part in KPMG’s Global Advantage Program, which takes place annually in July, designed to attract top KPMG talent .  Travelling to one of our global KPMG offices to attend a four day leadership program to engage in development training, networking with 80 graduates from over 10 countries, historical/cultural activities and client interaction.

The newly introduced KPMG captive scholarship, developed in collaboration with the Bermuda Captive Network, focuses on supporting students passionate about a career in captive insurance. Valued at up to $30,000, this scholarship includes a $20,000 cash award and up to $10,000 in-kind support for industry events, providing comprehensive exposure to Bermuda’s thriving captive insurance sector. Scholars gain practical experience through secondments with a captive insurance company, rotating through departments like Underwriting, Claims, Finance, and Compliance, as well as KPMG’s own Audit, Tax, and Advisory groups.

In addition to scholars having the same opportunities as the KPMG and Frontier Scholarships, recipients also receive:

• Comprehensive industry exposure: Scholars gain hands-on experience by rotating through KPMG’s Audit, Tax, and Advisory service groups and participating in secondments with a captive insurance company where they work directly with professionals in underwriting, claims, finance, and compliance.
  
• Networking access: Complimentary entry to key events, such as the Bermuda Captive Conference, allowing scholars to connect with industry leaders.
• Mentorship and support: Each scholar is paired with a career coach and performance manager for ongoing guidance.
