Nine Caribbean students will receive scholarship support for climate-related studies at The University of the West Indies, under a US$112,000 investment announced by the university on November 6.
The funding from CCRIF SPC supports the 2026–2027 academic year and includes undergraduate and postgraduate study. Programmes span disciplines such as meteorology, engineering, geology, geoinformatics and natural-resource management.
The awards cover study at UWI’s Cave Hill, Mona and St. Augustine campuses, linking the initiative directly to university education in Trinidad and Tobago.
According to UWI, postgraduate recipients come from Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. The announcement describes five postgraduate awards and four undergraduate awards.
The scholarships form part of CCRIF’s Technical Assistance Programme, which supports regional capacity in disaster-risk management, climate adaptation and related fields.
The announcement concerns awards to selected students, rather than a newly opened application round. Readers seeking future scholarships should consult the institutions’ official notices for eligibility, application dates and funding conditions.
