It is both an honour and a privilege to continue their legacy by awarding this scholarship to a deserving recipient who reflects their values—demonstrating grit, perseverance, and resilience in the face of challenges.”
The scholarship is awarded to a national of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate programme at The UWI Global Campus and has demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and community involvement. Following a competitive selection process, Ms. Trotman emerged as an outstanding candidate whose accomplishments and aspirations exemplify the values and objectives of the scholarship.

Severin declares, “Ms. Yamine Trotman needs to be celebrated, and I am grateful to Mrs. Tisha Sinnette-Nguyen, a good friend of the Global Campus, for recognising Yamine in that regard. Others can learn so much from our deserving student in terms of her public activism, community spirit and good ‘citizenship’ in being the ‘originator’ of a philanthropic organisation that offers mental health support
to women. This is commendable, and the urgent need for such interventions cannot be underestimated. I wish her absolute success as she strives to be the best social worker that she can be.”
The UWI Global Campus extends heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Yamine Trotman on this well-deserved achievement and wishes her continued success in her academic pursuits and future endeavours.
