RE: Fwd: MTCA Scholarship Award Update & Reminder
2022-JUN-09-2213Hrs
On June 2, 2022, our team sent an email to alumni (Canada and US) requesting donations in support of the MTC legacy initiative, i.e. the MTCA Scholarship award initiative.
(Please see below for a copy of the letter, which includes instructions on how to donate.)
The donation drive will last approximately 4-6 weeks with a target of $10K Cdn. After one week, we have had generous responses from a total of six (6) Mausicans, whom we thank for their contributions.
We encourage you to show the true Mausica spirit by donating TODAY. Our alumni base is small, so your generous contribution will go a long way in assisting a few students trying to enter the teaching profession in TnT.
E-TRANSFERS: If you have/had problems with the e-transfer process at your bank, please ensure that you follow carefully the interac e-transfer steps outlined by your bank or contact them for assistance. Since our account is registered, there is no need for a security question.
Please note that a group is presently being organized in TnT to kick off a similar initiative. We have been advised by UTT that procedures are being put in place to accept donations directly. This should be ready in a few weeks and we will let you know accordingly into the account.
Please feel free to share this information broadly with other alumni, your family and friends.
Best Regards,
Dear Mausicans, family and friends of Mausica,
As you may know, we are a small team of Mausican alumni located in North America (Canada and US), who have taken on the challenge of keeping the MTC name and memory alive by establishing a legacy in Trinidad and Tobago that will reflect our MTC motto:”Moulding a Nation through Service”.
We are now at the most critical stage of the initiative, i.e. funding the scholarships to the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), and are seeking your financial support to continue the MTC legacy. We have set our goal at ten thousand dollars (Canadian) for the coming academic year. This funding drive will last from June 1 to July 15, 2022.
We encourage you to donate generously and to share this letter with family and friends of Mausica. Your donation will make a lasting impact on a future educator and will set the stage for subsequent years.
Make a contribution TODAY and become a Patron of the MTCA family.
We are really counting on your support and generosity to make this a success.

BACKGROUND:
Several months ago, we embarked on an initiative with this objective in mind to provide educational scholarships to future educators in T&T. We targeted the Faculty of Education (B Ed programme) at the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), where the teacher training program reminded us to some extent of our experience at MTC. We subsequently came to an agreement with UTT that we would provide funding for a full year’s tuition and other expenses for a few students entering their final year, commencing with the 2022-2023 academic year. Tuition cost is presently $12K tt; books are estimated at $3600 tt .
While the UTT administrative team is close to completing development of a policy and Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) that would govern the MTCA Scholarship Award, the team has worked feverishly to put in place scholarship criteria and banking arrangements in Canada. It has shared an update on progress with all MTC alumni at a Zoom meeting on May 7, through email and also the weekly blog. There has been general support from the alumni body and a small group has set about developing a similar model in T&T with the support and guidance of our team.
Funds collected will be remitted by e-transfer to UTT. An accounting for all funds collected will be provided by the alumni team and UTT. Scholarship winners will be selected by UTT according to the agreed upon criteria and will be published by UTT and shared with all alumni.
Levels of Support:
Contributor up to $500
Innovator $500 - $999

Re: MAUSICA WEEKLY EMAILS 2022-JUN-03

I am for the Mausica Scholarship which must be awarded to a teacher of less than ten years in the Service and who, through recommendation by the Principal of the School and two members of Staff and a member of the School PTA, has demonstrated some of these qualities that shaped the Mausican: resiliency, a sincere love for their students as he/she goes beyond the call of duty for them (this is bearing in mind what we had heard as the mantra - you can’t learn children if you don’t love them); and engagement in the all-round development of the students i.e outside of the sphere of the classroom influence e.g extra curricular activities. It is said that the teacher who sees him/herself as teaching or influencing a child for one year is not helping the child for life.
Let us go for it. It should surely make a difference in T&T.
