SPBS Announces 2016 University Scholarship Programs

By: SPBS, Press Release

    June 3rd, 2016 -- SPBS continues its tradition of “giving back” by officially announcing its 2016 University Scholarship program. Ever since its inception, SPBS has a long tradition of reaching and supporting eligible candidates as they pursue their college education. Our goal is unchanged – to support our eligible Charles E. Mills Secondary School students at all stages from incoming freshmen to current college students.

     

    In this release, we focus on our University programs. Here, we present our proud tradition and most importantly, we introduce a new scholarship – the Ridley Guishard Scholarship. The Guishard Scholarship is actually 2 scholarships each valued at US$2,500. Eligible applicants must be “socio-economically challenged” who attended the SPHS/CEMSS and are presently enrolled in full time graduate or undergraduate studies.

     

    We endeavor to provide critical support for students in college and build a “family” of new leaders and future servants for the CEMSS community. We celebrate our 1st winner – Mrs. Sharine Hodge. Sharine (2013 Undergraduate Winner) graduated from Cameron College in 2014.
