Deadline for submitting the criteria for the grant is May 2.
Rotaract Blue is offering a vocational grant to young adults interested in pursuing a career in a vocational or technical service.
Every year, Rotaract Blue awards the Fred Speirs Vocational Grant to a local student to pursue technical and vocational studies as part of its professional development avenue of service. The vocational grant is heading into its 7th year of providing young professionals with the opportunity to further their studies home or abroad.
Eligible Caymanians between the ages of 16 and 30 wishing to pursue a vocational or technical course either locally or overseas can apply through an application process. Like a typical scholarship, the grant may be used for education expenses such as tuition, fees, books, accommodation, food and other related expenses.
Heading up the process this year, Rotaract Blue’s Director of Professional Development Ranel Grant said, “Young people are the future of this country and Rotaract Blue’s Vocational Grant program is an excellent tool to help them get a head start in life.”
She added, “Majority of the focus has always been on academics. However, it is clear that technical/vocational careers are definitely an asset to these islands. Therefore, I am happy that our club is able to raise funds towards this cause.” Application forms can be found online at www.rotaractblue.org.
