Event Details:

What: BESS Scholarship Programme Information Session

Where: Bishop Michael Eldon School Auditorium, Grand Bahama

When: Tuesday, November 4th, 2025

For nearly two decades, the BESS Programme has empowered Bahamian students to become leaders in environmental stewardship. This session will detail how students can apply for:

• A scholarship towards a 100-day Semester or 6-week Summer Term at The Island School.
• A valuable internship with a leading conservation organization in The Bahamas.

This is a unique work-study experience focused on hands-on learning, leadership, and environmental research. We welcome you to join us to connect with BESS alumni and the BREEF/Island School Teams to learn more. Light snacks and refreshments will be available.
