We are pleased to announce the Official Launch of our 2nd Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) Cave Hill Innovation Award (FINO Award) Competition for 2022, as per the below flyer provided:



The FST Innovation Award (FINO Award) recognizes an outstanding, innovative and out-of-the-box project or initiative created by a student or students of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Cave Hill. The competition is open to all current FST Students and also to all recently graduated (from the 2021-2022 academic year) FST students (both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels).

Note that are our first ever FST FINO Award Competition was held during the 2020-2021 academic year, and the winners of the competition back then were Ms. Kerri-Ann Bovell (1st Place Winner of the 2020-2021 FINO Award Competition) and Mr. Damian Garnes (1st Place Winner of the Disabilities Category in the 2020-2021 FINO Award Competition). 

A prize of BDS$500.00 (in cash/vouchers) will be awarded to the winner of the FINO Award Competition.
