The first Norris Mitchell full scholarship award in the sum of EC $2000 per student per annum to his Alma Mater, the St. John’s R.C School now the St. Peter’s R.C School was provided from 2000 -2005 to three successful Common Entrance students whose parents found it difficult to meet the cost of providing a Secondary Education for their children.

Of the three, I am pleased to report that Chad Knight, a former student of the Presentation Brothers College, has since graduated from University and is practicing as a Professional Mechanical Engineer in the USA, the other two: Abigail Williams and Dwayne Purcell are gainfully employed in Grenada.
The second 2014 -2019 award was provided to another two students who were successful in the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA) exam, which was held for the first time in May of 2014. At the receipt of their examination results in June of that year and at the conclusion of the school selection process, the two successful students who have been assisted in attending secondary schools of their choice with a 5 year full scholarship at EC $1500 per student per annum were:
Eleven year old Kazim dottin to the St. Rose Modern Secondary    and
Twelve year old Chelsea Greasley to the St. Joseph Convent, St. George’s.

Five years later in 2019 both students have graduated and are now awaiting their CXC results which should be announced in August of this year.
The third batch of two new students who have awarded full scholarship for the duration of their five year secondary school period (2019-2024) at EC $1500 per student per annum.
Opportunity is taken to wish them both a successful and rewarding secondary educational journey, which hopefully would form the template for a fulfilling future career.
Eleven year old Joshua Mitchell will be attending the St. Rose Modern Secondary School and eleven year old Ian George will be heading to the Presentation Brothers College.
