History was made in August 2018 when two St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College (SVGCC) students became the first SVGCC students to earn CARICOM-Canada Leadership Scholarships to pursue programmes of study in Canada.

Following on the MOU signed last November between the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) in Halifax, Canada and the SVGCC, the opportunity became available and first year students in hospitality studies, tourism studies and culinary arts were invited to apply.

After a rigorous selection process, the successful applicants were Sarine Hannaway and Xavier Stapleton.

Both Hannaway and Stapleton then had to apply for the scholarship and were successful.

They are enrolled in the one-year Culinary Skills Certificate programme at NSCC, which began at the end of August 2018 and will run until May 2019.

Both students will also benefit from the workplace attachment in Canada, which will take place at the end of the programme.

“The SVGCC wishes both students a fantastic year and looks forward to strengthening this relationship with NSCC and other Canadian institutions,” the college said in a statement.

  1. This is good news, a reawaken of the once cohesive SVG and Canada Community College relationship.
    One that was built since during the leadership of the Late PM Milton Cato and the Government of Ontario Colleges and Universities, when many SVG students including one of SVG’s leading Architect Moulton Mayers were among the SVG scholars at Humber College, Seneca and George Brown College.
    This is an interesting endeavour to follow up on.
