Antigua and Barbuda has again secured three prestigious scholarships.
The 2021 Chevening Scholars for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean were officially announced on August 26, by British High Commissioner, His Excellency Scott Furssedonn-Wood.
Antigua and Barbuda’s winner Jeniece St. Romain will pursue International Trade Law at the University of Leeds, while Sharifa George will be at the University of Sussex reading for a Masters in Strategic Marketing.
The third scholar is Malaeka Goodwin who will pursue Forensic Accounting at the University of Portsmouth.
Resident British Commissioner to Antigua and Barbuda, Lindsy Thompson, met all of the scholars earlier last week to officially congratulate and honour their achievement.
She noted this was the second year in a row that Antigua and Barbuda was awarded three scholars, which is a testament to the quality of human resources in this country.
Fifteen fully funded scholarships were awarded to successful candidates from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and St Vincent and the Grenadines, to pursue Master’s Degrees in the UK.
