A community mobiliser with the Ministry of National Security's Citizen Security and Justice Programme and a resident of August Town in St Andrew, Ferguson will begin reading for her two-year global master's in public administration at the Seoul National University in August. The programme is designed to train globally smart leaders in developing countries to take the lead in economic and social development.
The scholarship was offered as part of EWP's continued support for access to advanced education and aligns with the JPS Foundation's focus on developing the capacities of youth leaders.
Ferguson, who holds a bachelor's degree in computing, said the scholarship will further enhance her capabilities in the areas of research methods, community development theories and violence prevention.
"Winning this scholarship means everything to me. I prayed a lot for this opportunity and I am grateful to the JPS Foundation and EWP for selecting me from so many others to represent them and the country as I undertake this programme," she said. more
