San Fernando (30 November 2019) - Eight lucky scholarship awardees gathered at Canton Palace celebrate their accomplishments and collect financial aid at the Rotary Club of Princes Town’s 2019-2020 Vocational Awards.
The Club’s scholarship program aims to support students-in-need who exhibit the ideals of rotary and strong academic profiles. For their outstanding academic achievements, the students were awarded up to TT$10,000 each to assist with their secondary and tertiary education expenses.
Mr. Rayber Bowen, in his feature address encouraged the students to never give up and to follow their dreams even if the journey meanders in a direction they don’t expect. He echoed the sentiments of President Jamir Ousman, who reminded the children to honor and respect their parents who continue to sacrifice to support their academic growth.
After the awarding of the scholarship prizes, the families shared dinner and fellowship with members of the Rotary Club of Princes Town.
This event was later published in the Trinidad Guardian on December 24th, 2019.
