The Lyford Cay Foundation gave out more scholarships for STEM programmes than any other year.

There are 27 new scholarships for the 2022-2023 year, and each year the Foundation will support 58 students master scholarship.

18-year-old Mateo Bethel, a graduate of St George's High School says: "What inspires me the most is the country’s lack of necessary gear to recover from hurricanes, as demonstrated by Hurricane Dorian. Considering mechanical engineering is such a broad topic, I wish to contribute in many ways."

Fifty-two percent of the awardees are first-generation college students. Denisha Demeritte, who received the inaugural recipient of the Sir Godfrey Kenneth Kelly Graduate Award, will pursue a master's degree in Public Health Epidemiology to help with potential pandemics and address healthcare inequalities.

"I believe it's my responsibility to investigate health issues that negatively impact the community and to come up with solutions," she says in her essay.

Basil Goulandris, chairman of Lyford Cay Foundation said “We are grateful for the generosity of the Kelly family who have created this new award which honours Sir Godfrey – a former Minister of Education, noted legal mind, businessman and sportsman.”

This year’s recipients are: Raneisha Higgs-Brice (masters in logistics and supply chain management from the University of Windsor), Gabrielle Pintard- Newry (masters in global affairs at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto); Whit- Tia Morley-Barrett (diploma in health information management at St Lawrence College), Therize Pennerman (advanced diploma in mechanical engineering technology – automated manufacturing from Conestoga College Institute of Technology).
