The BMDS Charitable Trust

Since its inception in 2001, the Trust has made distributions in the form of bursaries to university students pursuing degrees in the performing and related arts, to the Bermuda School of Music Bursary Programme, donations back to BMDS for equipment and workshops, and other distributions to promote music and theatre in Bermuda totaling nearly $500,000.00!

 

Applications for Bursaries can made through www.bermudascholarships.com commencing in spring of each year.

 

Check out the BMDS Charitable Trust Documentary

The BMDS Charitable Trust has commissioned a documentary about the Trust, which was created by the very talented Jessica Bucher, a young Bermudian who is pursuing her passions and currently double-majoring in Strategic Communication and Studio & Digital Arts: Graphic Design. This documentary will be distributed to create awareness of the Trust for the purposes of fundraising and bursary submissions.
