THE ERROL AND NITA BARROW EDUCATIONAL TRUST

2023 APPLICATION GUIDELINES

ABOUT THE AWARD
Awards are enabling grants to pursue a post graduate course of study for which the applicant has
a provisional acceptance in any subject relevant to the development needs of Barbados and/or
the Caribbean.
Note: Preferential consideration will be given to applicants who will be completing
their course of study during the 2023 - 2024 academic year.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must:

• Be Citizens of the Commonwealth Caribbean or anyone of whose parents or grandparents is

or was a citizen of the Commonwealth Caribbean.
• Be persons who intend to pursue or currently pursuing a course of postgraduate or equivalent
study in a subject relevant to the development needs of Barbados and the Caribbean.

• Be a person of outstanding ability between the ages of 22 and 45 years old.
• Be a person of high intellectual and academic achievement with integrity, who respects other
people.
• Be a person with leadership qualities with a high capacity for sustained hard work.

AWARD VALUE
The value of the award is fixed by the Trustees in each case, having regard to the needs and
resources of the candidate and the cost of fees, maintenance, books, insurance, travel and other
expenses incurred in pursuing the course of study. Candidates should be aware that the grant
will be a contribution towards the cost of study, and they will therefore be expected to satisfy the
Trust that they are able to secure the remaining funds from other sources. Payments are made
to the institution and/or the scholar, as directed by the Trustees.
Important Note: A refund to the Trust may be required if the conditions of the grant are not
complied with substantially in terms of the application and the award.

AWARD CONDITIONS
1. Successful applicants must begin their courses at the time and institution approved by the
Trustees. No change can be made without the express permission of the Trustees.
