RE: UTT MTCA Scholarship and Bursary Award - Update

2022-AUG-18-1815Hrs

Fellow Mausicans,

On August 12th, 2022 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) and the Mausica Teachers' College Alumni (MTCA). The goal of the MOU is to create a legacy for Mausica Teachers' College (1963-1975) by offering Scholarships and Bursaries to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education programme at UTT.

I am happy to announce that, following a six-week fundraising campaign, we were able to reach our financial goal, and on August 13th, $10,000 CAN was wired to UTT to fund the inaugural scholarships and bursaries starting in September, 2022.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed in cash or kind towards the success of this initiative so far. We would also like to acknowledge the contribution of our fellow T&T colleagues who are working on establishing a Foundation to facilitate the longevity of the scholarship programme. This committee is headed by Hazel Ann Gibbs-DePeza.

Further updates will be provided via the Blog and/or word of mouth. As well, a personal "Thank You" will be sent to everyone who made a financial contribution.
