Robert Clements Scholarship

Since its establishment in 1996 the Robert Clements Scholarship has provided financial support to over 27 Bermudian university students enabling them to complete their degrees in insurance related studies and to pursue careers in the international insurance industry. The scholarship was established in recognition of Mr. Clements' contribution to the creation of ACE Limited in 1985 and in celebration of the completion of 10 years of successful business in Bermuda. The Robert Clements Scholarship is funded by the Chubb Charitable Foundation - Bermuda.
