Appleby: Paving the way for<br />
young <strong>Cayman</strong>ian Lawyers<br />
Appleby has a long history of supporting young <strong>Cayman</strong>ian lawyers through its Legal<br />
<strong>Scholarship</strong> Programme, which is one of the longest running programmes of its kind<br />
in the <strong>Cayman</strong> Islands. We support law students by covering the cost of tuition,<br />
examination fees and textbooks required for study, as well as a living allowance for<br />
students studying abroad, and eight weeks’ work experience each summer.<br />
With 50 years in the industry, Appleby (<strong>Cayman</strong>) prides itself on having an<br />
internationally recognised presence in the legal industry while maintaining its<br />
commitment to the community of the <strong>Cayman</strong> Islands through charitable giving and the<br />
sponsorship of <strong>Cayman</strong>ian students pursuing a career in law. Over the last six years, the<br />
firm has granted over one million dollars to the education of 18 local students through<br />
its Legal <strong>Scholarship</strong> Programme, allowing them opportunities to study at the <strong>Cayman</strong><br />
Islands Law School or at overseas universities. Fifteen of those students have since<br />
been called to the <strong>Cayman</strong> Islands Bar, and an additional four students are currently<br />
sponsored by the firm and are at different phases of their study.<br />
We certainly look forward to this year’s scholarship drive and to giving additional young<br />
people a chance to pursue studies in the legal field.<br />
