XL Group plc (NYSE: XL) announced today that the 2015 XL Catlin Scholarship has been awarded to Shamar Morris, a former Somersfield Academy High Honors student and member of the Bermuda High School graduating class of 2015.

The XL Catlin Scholarship is a four-year full scholarship open to students who are Bermudian or hold Permanent Resident Certificate status and are working toward a degree in (re)insurance-related studies.

Eighteen-year-old Shamar, the son of Cynthia Thomas and Shaun Morris of Hamilton Parish, was selected from a list of 51 applicants for the scholarship.

Shamar is scheduled to begin his studies this year for an honors bachelor of science degree in Actuarial Science at the University of Toronto in Canada. He plans to pursue a career as an Actuary in the (re)insurance industry and to become a Fellow in the Society of Actuaries.   

XL Catlin Scholarship Committee Chairperson Vanessa Robinson said: 鈥淎s in previous years, we had a shortlist of high caliber candidates. Shamar stood out based on his clear vision of his career path, his academic achievements as well as his musical and other extracurricular accomplishments. We are confident that he will do well at university and look forward to welcoming him as an intern during the summers. Based on his track record so far, we have no doubt that Shamar will reach his goals and be an asset to both XL Catlin and the (re)insurance industry at large.鈥�

With an admitted passion for Mathematics since pre-school, Shamar鈥檚 academic achievements include earning high grades, particularly during his second year of the International Baccalaureate Program at BHS.

Shamar, who has also been a piano student for 14 years and a violin student for 11 years, completed the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Practical Exams for Violin Grades 2 through 10, receiving distinction and honor grades. He was also nominated this year for the Outstanding Teen Performing Arts Award and has been a mentor for younger students at the Bermuda School of Music, volunteering as a violin and piano tutor. He has also participated as a violinist in the Bermuda School of Music tours in Michigan, Boston and Charlotte, North Carolina.

In addition to his academic and music accomplishments, Shamar has been a member of the Youth Parliament since 2011 and has served as the Youth Speaker of the House. He was recently selected by Youth Parliament Bermuda as one of two nominees to attend the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association observances of Commonwealth Day in London, UK.
