Nadeisha Greene, a future dentist, was one of five students at the University of Technology (UTech) who had difficulty meeting thetuition and other financial requirements of her degree programme.
But like four of her cohorts, her excellent academic performance earned her a Chinese Ambassador Scholarship, an inaugural scholarship funded by the Chinese Embassy in Kingston.
Greene, who is in her third year of study in the doctor of medical dentistry programme, was thrilled at the assistance received from the Chinese government, valued at US$ 8,000. "I applied for the scholarship because my course is very expensive and I do not have adequate funding because student loan alone cannot cover the fee. It's almost $2 million a year for the school fee. This year, it is $1.93 million," she said.
INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
She emphasised that her time isn't restricted to academia as she is also involved in community activities. "I am part of the Top Range community development committee, a community-based organisation," she said. more
