Launching a scholarship was a key goal for our founder. Being able to support young Caribbean students pursuing tertiary education is one of the pillars of EmpowerU's mission to the community. The EmpowerU Scholars Fund is aimed at supporting eligible students with tuition and book fee assistance. 2021 was our first year launching this scholarship and our team was truly moved and inspired by the breath of applicants we received. In fact, the voting process was quite strenuous for us as we wished we could support all of our applicants. Still, we at EmpowerU look forward to the bright future with so much talent developing within the region.
This year's winner of the EmpowerU Scholars Fund is:
Tamia Hector
