unique advantages of the Five Islands experience. Among them, the competitive and affordable tuition fees for its range of degree and certificate offerings available from three schools \u2013 Humanities and Education, Health and Behavioural Sciences and Management, Science and Technology. The commitment of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to offer specific tuition scholarships for OECS nationals was another key talking point, ahead of the application deadline date of December 20, for entry into programmes for next January. Professor Griffith also discussed the plans for new programming offering in the coming cycle, in areas such as disaster and risk management, relevant to the OECS region, which has been most susceptible to the ravages of tropical storms and hurricanes in recent past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-3611226045\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Speaking of the outcome of the meetings, Professor Griffith says discussions with decision makers including St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr. Hon.
