Agri­co­la Cred­it Union re­cent­ly placed the spot­light on ed­u­ca­tion, ho­n­our­ing stu­dents who ex­celled in this year’s Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) ex­am­i­na­tion through its bur­sary pro­gramme.

Two cer­e­monies were held in both Trinidad and To­ba­go, where a to­tal of 40 stu­dents—23 in Trinidad, 17 in To­ba­go—re­ceived grants and back-to-school sta­tionery in prepa­ra­tion for the new school term.

Speak­ing at the bur­sary award cer­e­mo­ny at Gov­ern­ment Plaza, St Vin­cent Street, Port-of-Spain, on Au­gust 16, Agri­co­la Cred­it Union pres­i­dent Ger­da Eve-Jules said the ini­tia­tive was es­tab­lished as part of the cred­it union’s mis­sion to sup­port the fi­nan­cial well-be­ing, growth and de­vel­op­ment of fam­i­lies.
