Tied to our vision, anchored by our values, building on our strengths 2.7.3 Secondary School Scholarship The GPSCCU Secondary School Scholarship is a long time initiative of the GPSCCU which seeks to aid students in meeting the financial obligations of Secondary School over five (5) years. Four students, namely Johnathan Cyrus (Carriacou), Stephon Buckmire, Edison Williams (Grenville) and Bertrand Collins joined the programme adding to the six students who were already being assisted. The students in the GPSCCU Secondary School Programme are chosen based on need and academic performance and are required to keep good grades throughout their school life. The Committee, under the chairmanship of Sis. Meryl Lord, has worked diligently to help our students and for this we are grateful. 2.7.4 Joseph Bain Scholarship The Joseph Bain Award 2013 assisted four (4) members in their pursuit of their University level education at various institutions.
