This year, twenty-five (25) applicants were considered by the National Training and Scholarship Advisory Committee (NTSAC). The applications were reviewed against the established criteria and recommendations were submitted to Cabinet for approval.
Scholarship recipients are considered based on the Government of Montserrat’s Learning and Development priorities. These priorities are principally informed by Government’s policy agenda which is the foundation of the island’s development thrust.
For 2022-2023, the Government has prioritized areas that would enable Montserrat to create modern and high-quality education, deliver priority infrastructure projects to support private sector development and provide health services that supports a reduction in public health concerns among others.
In submitting their priority learning needs, Ministries and Departments were also required to consider the following;
- The number of critical posts which have been vacant for extended periods and have proven hard to fill;
- Positions identified as critical, hard to fill and approved for funding under the Technical Cooperation Programme;
- The areas required for succession planning and business continuity;
- The areas identified where serving officers need to attain the basic qualifications for current job.
The number of awards issued yearly is dependent on the budget allocated to scholarships and the number of awardees who would complete studies in the particular year.
In fiscal year 2021/2022, a total of five scholarships were awarded
In confirming our commitment to developing a culture of continuous learning within the public service and the wider Montserrat Community, financial assistance will be given to applicants who are pursuing studies at various Institution across the region and the United Kingdom.
