Students from Dominica State College receive $1500 scholarship from Rotary Club

Dominica: The Rotary Club of Dominica has awarded three students from Dominica State College prestigious scholarships valued at $1,500 annually. 

These scholarships were awarded to the students after they were shortlisted by the authorities from the applications received. The candidates were shortlisted after they wrote a 500-word essay describing why they deserved the scholarship. 

Devon from St Rose, a student from the Arts and Science faculty pursuing an associate's degree in building and civil engineering, and Ian Pierre, a student in Associate of Accounting, received the John Archibald Scholarship. Nigel George, a student pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Agricultural Science, received the Victor Josse Scholarship.

These scholarships are valued at $1500 annually and will play an instrumental role in diverting the students to greater success. In order to maintain the scholarship amount, the students will have to meet certain criteria which include maintaining a 3.0 GPA and must pass all the courses. 

The scholarship will also be bound to limits that the students must possess good behaviour and character, in order to sustain their scholarships. However, the renewal of the scholarships will solely be the decision of the Rotary Club.
