Aegon, a pioneer in financial services, is taking its relationship with Bermuda to a new level with the launch of an ambitious three-year community investment program. This initiative promises not only scholarships and grants but a broader empowerment for the local populace.
Commitment to Education: Bridging the Gap
Starting in the 2025⁄2026 academic year, Aegon will pave the way for the youth of Bermuda to embark on promising careers within key sectors like healthcare, trades, and technology. Through the “Live Your Best Life Scholarships,” students will receive up to $30,000 annually, removing financial barriers and nurturing future leaders.
Financial and Social Empowerment: A New Dawn
Aegon’s vision extends beyond education. Local nonprofit organizations focusing on financial literacy and social resilience will receive substantial grants. Projects that encourage entrepreneurship and develop critical skills are at the forefront of this crusade, ensuring that all islanders can actively contribute to Bermuda’s economy.
Partnership with the Bermuda Foundation: A Unified Effort
As part of this momentous endeavor, Aegon will invest in the Bermuda Foundation. This partnership aims to cement the long-term sustainability of local nonprofits, bolstering their missions and ensuring a brighter future for all. The foundation’s collaboration will be pivotal in administering the program, magnifying its impact.
Aegon’s Legacy in Bermuda: A Two-Decade Journey
From its initial roots planted with Transamerica Life Bermuda to the legal redomiciliation of Aegon’s seat, this initiative marks a culmination of two decades of trust and collaboration with Bermuda. As stated in Bernews, CEO Lard Friese affirms that Aegon is committed not just to business but to the vibrancy and well-being of Bermuda’s community.
Aegon’s community investment program is a testament to its purpose: helping people live their best lives. This noble venture sparks hope and anticipation, promising transformational growth and harmony for Bermuda’s future.
