Islanders are reminded that they only have until the end of April to apply for the 2025 Jersey Clipper Bursary a £1,000 cash award aimed at furthering maritime endeavour.

The bursary, which also offers a £500 runner-up award, is designed to assist an Islander of any age to fulfil a particular nautical dream such as a trip on a tall ship, attending a training course or participating in a watersports
competition.

The successful applicant will follow in the wake of 2024 winner Jersey College for Girls student Bertille Bacquet who used the bursary to help fund the purchase of a second-hand racing dinghy as she follows her dream of competing in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Islanders can apply for the 2025 Jersey Clipper Bursary by outlining their particular nautical ambition in no more than 200 words in an email to philipjeune@gmail.com. The deadline is 30 April.
