UWI Global Online secures largest grant ever - US$25 million

In April 2021, The UWI secured an international grant of US$25 million, the largest in its history, when Silicon Valley digital technology giant, EON Reality, announced its partnership with the University.

This partnership represents a significant investment in Caribbean digital education and professional training, and sees EON Reality entering the Caribbean market as a post- COVID education development leader.

The project, which grounds the Open Campus’ transformation into The UWI’s Global Campus, is a key part of the University’s new finance vision that seeks to convert its global reputation into sustainable revenue.

Vice-Chancellor Beckles noted, “The University is moving swiftly along its plotted finance trajectory and there are other such major funding initiatives in the global pipeline. Our development work and institutional credibility are now globally known and our allies are keen to offer support.”
