Tower’s Open Day at the University of the South Pacific drew strong student turnout.

The Tower Insurance Vunilagi Scholarship was launched in June as part of a year celebration, commemorating 150 years of operation in Fiji for the insurer.

It covers a full year of tuition fees for three USP students in their final year of a bachelor’s degree study.

Successful applicants will have to complete paid internships, and graduate from USP with the opportunity to accept a permanent role at Tower.

The winners from the caliber of entries will be announced after Tower goes through the selection process.

Tower Suva Hub Co-Chair Jajeena Bhan says it was successful day with an amazing turnout from the students, and many were keen to know more about what Tower has to offer.

Bhan says the team provided valuable insights about exciting career opportunities at Tower whether students were interested in data analysis, marketing, sustainability, or human resources and some were keen to know how tower provides for its employees and what opportunities are available for students in the future.

She says strong interest was seen from young women at USP.

Bhan adds as a business their main focus is to funnel diverse voices into financial services which will encourage the future of the financial services sector.
