The UWI Open Scholarship recipients at the Mona Campus.

Enrolment

Enrolment in graduate programmes in the period under review was recorded at 10,347, a 13% increase over the previous year's enrolment. The increased enrolment this year reverses the reduction seen over the past three years, and brings it in line with 2015/2016 enrolment figure.

Graduate Scholarships

Representing a 7% increase over the previous year, a total of BDS$2,165,913 was allocated to all campuses for Graduate Scholarships, which allowed for 43 three-year awards to research students.

Additional scholarships from donor and partner agencies included:

• CCRIF Scholarships valued at US$11,000.
• OAS Scholarships — Eight partial scholarships, valued at US$7,000 each.
• Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS) tenable at The UWI for citizens of low/middle income Commonwealth countries, valued at over US$40,000.
• The inaugural UWI-Oxford University Scholarship (McIntyre-Nettleford/Oxford University Scholarship) tenable at the St. Catherine's College, Oxford University, and valued at US$15,000 (tuition, university fees and accommodation). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, take-up of the scholarship was delayed to the next academic year.
