Department of Energy Bursary Programme

The Department of Energy Bursary Programme is a scholarship opportunity offered by the Government of Bermuda to develop Bermudian talent in critical technical and regulatory fields that will shape the Island's energy future. The programme offers two scholarships valued at $25,000 each, in addition to a paid 8-12 week summer internship within the Department of Energy. This combined financial and professional opportunity is designed to equip Bermudians with the skills, exposure, and practical experience necessary to lead in Bermuda's evolving energy landscape. The Department of Energy plays a central role in shaping Bermuda's energy policy and regulatory framework, while also overseeing telecommunications, broadcasting, and space and satellite operations sectors that are vital to economic resilience, digital connectivity, and national development. The scholarship offers students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in policy development, regulatory oversight, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement. Eligible applicants must be Bermudian students pursuing studies aligned with the Department's priority skill needs, including: Engineering and technical disciplines, Environmental and climate sciences, Physical and applied sciences, Energy economics and public policy, Law, regulation, and governance, and Business, finance, and project management. As outlined in the 2026/2027 Budget Statement, the Government has reaffirmed its commitment to developing Bermudian talent in the critical technical and regulatory fields essential to advancing a secure, sustainable, and affordable energy future.
