Disadvantaged students who were successful in this year’s CPEA examinations are now eligible to receive a scholarship from the Keith Mitchell Foundation.
The Keith Mitchell Foundation, named after Prime Minister Dr Rt Hon. Keith Mitchell, is now accepting referrals from principals, teachers, community leaders and others to name families of children who are economically disadvantaged.
Interested applicants are urged to send an email to kmfoundation473@gmail.com or call 417-5717.
In 2019, under the chairmanship of the late Sir Royston Hopkin, the Foundation was upgraded from a one-time grant to a 7-year scholarship to 75 students 5 years at secondary school and 2 years at TA Marryshow Community College (TAMCC).
Due to the economic hardship many families are experiencing at this time as a result of loss of employment because of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Keith Mitchell Foundation says it’s seen it fit to increase the number of scholarships offered.
To date, the Foundation has assisted the children of over 150 families in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
