Awards $765,000 JA in Scholarships to Jamaican Students |
Boston based, Caribbean Education Foundation, Inc. (CEF) has awarded their Paul Bogle Scholarship to six brilliant children in financial need who passed the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) to attend High School in Jamaica. The Scholarships total $765,000 Jamaican dollars.
Paul Bogle Scholarships are awarded to qualified and talented children who graduated from Primary Schools and passed their exams to attend High School but are in financial need, and could be in danger nonattendance due to lack of financial resources. The Scholarship pays: school fees, text books, school supplies, uniforms, shoes, transportation and lunch for the 2010-2011 school year.
The Caribbean Education Foundation discusses the reasons why Paul Bogle Scholarships are critical in Jamaica. CEF's CEO, Attorney Nikiki Bogle explains, “Public High Schools in Jamaica are ‘not free’ and due to the associated costs attending High School, too many 11-year-old children are unable to attend or appear infrequently at best. CEF’s goal is to help to provide meaningful access to High School education for children in financial need, in order that youth may acquire essential tools to help themselves.”
