Ten Montserratians Eligible for UWI Five Islands Scholarships

Prime Minister of Antigua, Gaston Browne, made an announcement that ten students from Montserrat are eligible for scholarships to attend the UWI Five Islands Campus.

The Cabinet in Antigua has decided to offer ten tuition-only scholarships to the UWI Five Islands campus to each of the six countries in the OECS, including Montserrat.

In a social media post, the prime minister’s office said the decision was made “in order to attract citizens from the member-states”, beginning in the September 2020 semester.

The sixty students from the OECS would enjoy a tuition-only scholarship, leaving them to meet other expenses connected to pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in any of the three disciplines now offered by the UWI Fourth Landed Campus.

The Cabinet had already made a decision, in collaboration with the UWI Interim Principal, to build 100 dormitory rooms on campus to ensure the attractiveness of the institution to those students who will come from abroad, including the OECS.
