The Bursary programme is part of the Bank’s ongoing initiatives to help empower young Grenadian nationals desirous of improving their economic and social standards, through higher learning. The Bursary programme was instituted in 2007 to supplement the Scholarship programme, which offers one student at a time, the opportunity to study at any of the UWI Open Campuses, up to a maximum of 3 years. Each year, on average $20,000.00 is airmarked for the scholarship programme while $40,000.00 is allocated for bursaries.

Eligibility for both Scholarship and Bursary is based on academic ability and financial need. Information on the Bank’s Scholarship and Bursary programme can be obtained from the UWI – Open Campus Centre, Marryshow House, St. George’s, or the Bank’s website:  www.republicgrenada.com.
