Students who obtained passes in 5 CSEC/CXC subjects, including Mathematics and English, and A level students who gained passes in 2 subjects, plus Communication Studies, Caribbean Studies or General Paper, will soon be rewarded $500 cash rewards.
Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves in his Independence address on Tuesday at Victoria Park said that in another week or so, 745 students who graduated at the appropriate level at the CAPE and CXC Examinations will each receive the monetary reward for their performance.
Dr. Gonsalves also said he has instructed the SVG Community College to provide him with a list of those students who successfully completed their Associate Degree Programmes in 2015 at the average level of a B+ grade and above, since he intends to make the same $500 payment to each of these qualifying students at the Associate Degree level.
