"WE GIVE BACK SO OTHERS CAN MOVE FORWARD"
August 19th, 2016 -- The Sandy Point Benevolent Society congratulates the accomplished students who were awarded our 2016 scholarships. Each winner demonstrated outstanding scholastic achievements and community service. The SBPS scholarship program strives to “Give back so others can move forward”. Our goal is unchanged – to support our eligible Charles E. Mills Secondary School students at all stages from incoming freshmen to current college students.
The Ridley Guishard Memorial Scholarship in the amount of US$2,500 is funded by Dr. Hannah Guishard, the daughter the of late Ridley Guishard. It is designed to provide financial aid to two educationally gifted scholars annually, who come from disadvantaged, socio-economic background. Rae-Dawn Richardson and Mr. Xavier Browne of Sandy Point, were co-recipients of this year’s award.
The Sir Hugh and Lady Claudette Rawlins Graduate Scholarship in the amount of US$2,000 is awarded to full-time students pursuing masters or doctorate degrees and are graduates of the Sandy Point High School (SPHS) or the Charles E. Mills Secondary School (CEMSS).
Mr. Crios Freeman of St. Pauls, is the winner of this year’s scholarship award. There has been four recipients of this award to date, and he is the second person from St. Pauls to receive it.
The Sandy Point Benevolent Society Scholarship (SPBS) for undergraduate studies in the amount of US$1,000 is awarded to any graduate of the Sandy Point High School or Charles E. Mills Secondary School, who is pursuing undergraduate studies. Past students of the Sandy Point Principal’s award will automatically qualify for this award.

The Presentation of these scholarships will be the focal point of our first SPBS Scholarship Gala to be held at Maestros Banquet Hall in the Bronx, NY on Saturday, September 3, 2016 at 8:00PM where Scholarship Donor, Dr. Hannah Guishard will deliver the keynote address.
