DOMINICA ICWI awards five-year secondary school scholarship to former Newtown Primary School student

The Insurance Company of the West Indies (ICWI) has presented a full scholarship valued at EC$10,000 over five years to 11-year-old Janiyah Irving.

The scholarship award ceremony took place at the company’s Roseau offices on Friday, August 12, 2022.

Janiyah Irving is a former student of the Newtown Primary School who attained a Pass in the June 2022 Grade Six National Assessment. She will attend the Dominica Grammar School (DGS).

Country Manager of ICWI in Dominica, Earl Edwards noted the contribution would relieve Janiyah and her family of a significant part of the financial responsibility associated with her secondary school education.

“Today, we are committing to invest $10 000 into your five-year secondary school journey. The greater part of the investment has to come from you if you are to successfully complete this journey. The investment required on your part is your time and effort. Be diligent in your studies,” Edwards stated.

Since establishing offices in Dominica in November 2019, ICWI has awarded five-year scholarships to four (4) students to attend secondary schools.
