Caribbean Integration Programme Bursaries 2009/2010

Posted Wednesday, January 28, 2009


The  Caribbean Integration Programme was conceived in 2006, with a view to promoting  the movement of students across the four campuses of the UWI thereby  re-kindling the spirit of regionality that had initially characterized the  University in the early days of its existence.

In  the academic year 2009/2010, we hope to award ten (10) bursaries valued  US$5,000 each, for students desirous of spending one semester at a campus other  than their home campus. Recipients of the bursaries would use the US$5000 to  cover expenses associated with airfare, accommodation and upkeep while at their  host campus. The host campus would ensure that the visiting students are  accommodated on Halls of Residence and would also have an appropriate cultural  programme in place.

Eligibility:

  • - have  completed at least two (2) semesters of study at their respective campuses;
  •  
  • - are  not entering their final semester;
  •  
  • - are  not pursuing a degree programme in the following faculties Law, Engineering or  Medicine.

 

Criteria:

The  award will be based on:

     
  • - good  academic achievement (minimum GPA of 3.0) in the previous year's University Examinations;
