As its registration process for 2013 kicks off, the Saint Helen University (SHU) has announced that it will be offering two fully paid scholarships to qualifying Guyanese students.
In addition to these, the Vieux Fort St. Lucian-based medical university will also be offering a 50% one-year tuition scholarship to any student currently enrolled in a medical program anywhere in the Caribbean, and who would want to enroll in the St. Helen’s course come January 2013.
This second offer is also extended to Guyanese students.
President of the institution, Oma Sewhdat said that since health is an integral part of development, the standards of the university’s MD program and curriculum will model those set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international organizations.
Sewhdat, in making the announcement, said that “like many other members of the Guyanese Diaspora, those of us who are building St. Helen University are committed to play our part in contributing to Guyana’s youth and development”.
The heads of the university’s faculties come from the US, Canada, and the Caribbean. They include Guyanese doctors- Dr. Max Hanoman who is residing in Guyana, Dr. Richard Van West-Charles, and Dr. Alden Chesney, residents of Canada, and Dr. Colwick Wilson, and Dr. Vishnu Seodat, who are residents of the United States.
Sewhdat said that he is confident of the quality of graduates who will emerge from the university, and the important roles they will play in their field of career.
“We are sure that Guyanese students who come to St. Helen will be assets to Guyana when they return, championing health as critical element in the development of people, communities and the country.
In so doing they will be part of the change needed at national and international levels in the arena of Health and Development,” Sewhdat said.
The man added that the “innovative” programs which he expects will be delivered by the highly-skilled and experienced Physicians and Medical Educators from the US, Canada, and the Caribbean will prove beneficial to Guyanese, as they start to build an exciting career in medicine.
The SHU President invited potential students to visit the university’s website at www.shu.com.lc to learn more about the programs and faculty, as well as to submit applications.
