The People’s National Congress/Reform through its leader, Brig. David Arthur Granger, in commemoration of its 55th anniversary has awarded the top student of Region Six, Shaqwane Crawford of Tucber Park in New Amsterdam, with a full scholarship for his next five years in secondary school.
The assistance was made possible through collaboration with the PNCR Florida Chapter. The presentation took place Sunday in New Amsterdam.
Shaqwane gained 509 marks and was selected from a shortlist of 14 students who did well at the last National Grade Six Assessment.
The lad, who attended All Saint’s Primary School, now attends President’s College, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
To be qualified for the award the aspiring lawyer had to satisfy certain criteria including his academic and overall performance in school, financial status, good discipline, and participate in extra curricula activities.
To continue receiving the scholarship he will have to continue his excellent all round performance.
Crawford and his mother, Donnel Rigby, recently received a cheque from PNCR executive member Jevauhn Stephens on behalf of the party.
Stephens said that it is a privilege for the party to make a contribution to someone’s academic life. He said that the PNCR is always willing to put in the extra effort for the betterment of its Guyanese brothers and sisters, especially young people.
He said that the PNCR’s introduction of Free Education from Nursery to University helped thousands of Guyanese gain the basics in life.
Ms Rigby and her son expressed gratitude to the PNCR and promised to do their best to uphold the ideals and aspirations of the donors.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
