Two students of the Antigua State College are to receive financial and other
assistance for the upcoming school year through collaborative efforts of JCI
Antigua and Grant Thornton.
The organization’s Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) through its Youth
Empowerment through Education Initiative has awarded Vinne-Cara Lindsey with
a full scholarship to cover fees at the Antigua State College for the academic year
2023-2024. Jadon Reid who came close to receiving the scholarship, was
supported with his request for a laptop, which was made possible through Happy
Kids.
Chairperson Aneika Davis stated that “We firmly believe that this opportunity will
provide the students with the necessary assistance required to complete their
college education without the burden of fees and resources. We express heartfelt
appreciation to our sponsors Grant Thornton and Happy Kids for their generous
donations in making this noble initiative a success.”
“To all applicants, we were truly moved and inspired by each story. We are proud
of your unwavering commitment to your personal development and that of your
wider community. We take this opportunity to wish you every success in all your
future endeavours.” Deputy Chair Akilah Anderson added.
The Youth Empowerment Programme specifically focuses on the development of
our nation’s youth, including its production of the annual prestigious YEP Awards
which is slated for November 26, 2023.
JCI Antigua President Laurel Jonas said, “JCI Antigua believes that education is a
tool that fosters the continued development of our youths, Antigua and Barbuda,
and the world at large. Our young people are our future, and we will continue to
engage and empower our youth through our YEP initiatives as well as our many
other projects and programmes.”
