Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) held its first ever
Swing for Scholarships event on Friday 10 June 2016 and
successfully raised $31,000 toward the school’s Financial-Aid
and Scholarship Programme that allows qualified Bahamian
students to attend LCIS.
40 local golf enthusiasts took part in the event - a four-
person team scramble - at the beautiful Lyford Cay Club Golf
Course. 100% of the proceeds from team sponsorships went
directly to support the Financial-Aid and Scholarship Fund at
LCIS, thanks to the incredible generosity of Master Sponsor
CornèrTrader.
Dr Michele Clivio, CEO of Cornèr Bank (Overseas) Ltd, shared
the bank’s excitement in partnering with LCIS: “CornèrTrader,
in conjunction with Cornèr Bank (Overseas) Ltd, is delighted
to assist LCIS through its sponsorship of the Swing for
Scholarships event. It is because of Cornèr Bank’s firm
belief in education and creating life-changing opportunities
for Bahamian students and families that we were delighted
to invest in this event that promises a great return for the
Bahamian community.”
LCIS intends to make the Swing for Scholarships an annual
event, and will continue to look forward to the support of its
corporate and individual sponsors. LCIS provides a challenging
and transformative education, and with the support of a
generous community, many more Bahamian students will
enjoy the lifelong success that an LCIS education allows.
