HAZIZA, Anne-Camille

The Dudley and Deborah Butterfield Scholarship

The McGill Bermuda Scholarship Trust is delighted to announce that Bermuda High School alumna Anne-Camille Haziza has been awarded the Dudley and Deborah Butterfield Scholarship 2025.

Miss Haziza was a top scholar in her year at the Bermuda High School. Among more than 202,000 candidates worldwide, Miss Haziza achieved an exceptional score of 43 out of 45 in the International Baccalaureate Diploma, placing her in the top 2-3% of candidates globally. Miss Haziza studied Mathematics Analysis and Approaches, Chemistry, and French at Higher Level, and Physics, English and Geography at Standard Level.

Miss Haziza’s scientific interest saw her secure two internships at the NASA Tracking Station in Bermuda. During the Wallops Academic Research Experience (ARE), she supported an Antares rocket launch carrying a Cygnus spacecraft into orbit to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).

She has been accepted to study Applied Mathematics with a minor in Physics through the Faculty of Science at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

The 18-year old’s interests are not limited to Aerospace Engineering and Astrophysics. Miss Haziza has also immersed herself in Bermuda’s marine ecosystems and completed two internships at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences - Arizona State University (BIOS-ASU). Her work in the US National Science Foundation-funded Plankton Ecology project has been used for graduate level research, and she will be listed as a co-author on a related science communication in the near future.

In recognition of her outstanding achievements, Miss Haziza has also been awarded the McGill Excellence Entrance Scholarship - a merit-based award granted to top incoming students. She plans to connect and collaborate with students, professionals and researchers across disciplines as a member of the McGill Science Undergraduate Society and the McGill Society of Physics.

She is also an avid footballer, artist, and committed and caring member of the community. She participated in the Duke of Edinburgh program, and has volunteered with the cancer care charity PALS.
