CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet invited the Head of the Prime Minister’s Scholarship Committee to its meeting in order to determine how best to serve as many Antigua and Barbuda Youth with the limited financial resources available for scholarships.
The Gaston Browne administration expended more than EC$23 million on the Prime Minister’s Scholarship Program in one year.
The Cabinet determined that scholarship funds for students attending UWI Five Islands and UWI Mona will have their awards paid directly to the UWI rather than to the students.
The Cabinet reiterated its policy towards its own employees receiving Prime Minister’s Scholarship monies; those who receive their monthly salaries while studying abroad may not also receive scholarship funds.

Hope they pay on time, unlike before when students have to wait sometimes the year/s after to receive their funds for their fees.
My child is still waiting it’s overdue Monroe college
Paying scholarship funds directly is no problem as long as it is paid. How would the Student expect to survive if the scholarship they receive is not enough to carry them through. The little salary that they depend on to buy things to upkeep themself will be cut. How heartless can you people get. There is a tendency for Government not to pay Institutions. I hope that they pay.
The students need to eat and some are unable to buy food plus clothes and bus fare.
