Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­al Yamine Trot­man has been award­ed the Sin­nette-Nguyen Schol­ar­ship for the aca­d­e­m­ic year 2025–2026.

The Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (The UWI) Glob­al Cam­pus, in an ar­ti­cle on its web­site, said Trot­man is cur­rent­ly pur­su­ing a Bach­e­lor of Sci­ence de­gree in So­cial Work and has dis­tin­guished her­self through ex­em­plary com­mu­ni­ty out­reach as the founder of Healed Me, Heal­ing You Min­istry, a phil­an­thropic or­gan­i­sa­tion that pro­vides men­tal health sup­port to women. She al­so serves as Vice Pres­i­dent, Pro­gram­ming and Vol­un­tarism, of The UWI Stu­dent To­day Alum­ni To­mor­row (STAT) Glob­al Cam­pus Corps.

The schol­ar­ship is award­ed to a na­tion­al of T&T who is cur­rent­ly en­rolled in an un­der­grad­u­ate pro­gramme at The UWI Glob­al Cam­pus and has demon­strat­ed ex­cep­tion­al aca­d­e­m­ic achieve­ment and com­mu­ni­ty in­volve­ment. Fol­low­ing a com­pet­i­tive se­lec­tion process, Trot­man emerged as an out­stand­ing can­di­date whose ac­com­plish­ments and as­pi­ra­tions ex­em­pli­fy the schol­ar­ship’s val­ues and ob­jec­tives.
