Dare to Dream with Bowen & Bowen Scholarship Award
Bowen and Bowen is challenging young Belizeans to dream big and backing it up with real support. For the past eleven years, the company has been awarding scholarships to the children of its employees, helping them pursue secondary, tertiary, and vocational studies. With over a million dollars invested so far, it’s a commitment to building Belize’s future leaders. This year, we joined proud parents and excited scholars at the ceremony to see what this opportunity means to them.

“For us, charity really starts at home and we call all the people that work at Bowen and Bowen, members of Bowen and Bowen and their families are part of that journey as well. So for us, it would invest in our members and invest in their families is important to us.”

“And it’s been such a long standing program, you know, how has the interactions and the feedback been from the, the members and their, their children?”

“I think it’s been great and to see, get a scholarship and follow through and get a follow up scholarship. But also I find one of the things that’s important in this scholarship program is the application process, because it’s partly the parent that pushes it and it’s also the student. Because education has to be supported at home. Students can’t do it on their own. They have to have a support mechanism at home. And we also offer that inside our scholarship program where we do follow ups on their academic performance to make sure that they’re getting everything they need to perform and succeed.”
