What is the Pelican Perks Programme?
Pelican Perks is a free University service, available on all 4 UWI campuses, to students and graduates of the University. It promotes discounts for students with a valid UWI Student ID card and alumni who have a UWI Alumni Association (UWIAA) Card. If they sign up as Pelican Perks Partners, this programme allows UWI graduates who have businesses or businesses which employ a lot of UWI graduates to have more exposure to The UWI community for their products and services. Of course we welcome other businesses with quality products and services and encourage them to also sign up for this programme.
