Thursday August 19th, 2021 marks the first anniversary of the passing of the Toronto SVG Support Group (TTSVGSG)’s colleague, friend and founder, Evans Bernard John.
In commemoration, The Toronto SVG Support Group (TTSVGSG) has announced the establishment of an annual education bursary, The EB John Memorial Bursary. The bursary will be awarded each year to a National of St. Vincent and The Grenadines pursuing post secondary studies in the Communication Arts or related field at the Open Campus of the University of the West Indies.
In the first year, the Bursary amount will be two thousand Eastern Caribbean dollars ($2,000 EC) that will be awarded to one individual. Details on the application and selection process will be provided at a later date. The bursary amounts and awardees will be announced each subsequent year by TTSVGSG.
The TTSVGSG in their official release said that it “expects this bursary will help deserving individuals achieve excellence in a field that was close to EB’s heart and thereby, be a fitting tribute in his honour.”
