Ms. Rhaine Gumbs of the Valley Primary School and Mr. Javon
Fleming Morris Vanterpool Primary School are this year’s
Caribbean Alumni for Regional Progress scholarship
recipients.
The aim of
the CARP Scholarship is to assist needy students in the
islands of Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada,
St. Lucia, St. Kitts/Nevis, and St. Vincent & the
Grenadines. The scholarship, which is in the amount of US
$200 or EC $530.00 (previously EC $500, 2004 - 2006), is
awarded annually to one student (per island) for the
purchase of school supplies and/or payment of school fees.
The
recipient of the scholarship should be a current student at
a selected Primary School, and he/she should be selected by
a Headteacher/Principal, in consultation, with his/her
staff. In addition, the scholarship recipient should be
selected based on his/her financial needs and academic
performance.

All scholarships funds are raised
(through Alumni Contributions) and disbursed by The
Alumni Chapter of the Caribbean Students
Organization, at Midwestern State University in Wichita
Falls, Texas.
However, there is a notable partnership
with the ABI Bank in Antigua. The Bank agreed to match CARP
Scholarship funds, effectively doubling the disbursement
amounts to the island of Antigua.
