Here's how the application process works:

  • Students are eligible for scholarships/grants for 1st, 2nd and 3rd (final) years of UWI studies, for each academic year.
  • Each year, the Scholarships & Bursaries application period for Year 1 students opens in August with a closing date of September 30.
    • For returning students, applications open in January with a closing date of May 31.
  • The UWI Campus Committee for Undergraduate Awards (CCUA) assesses all applications and awards recipients.
  • The CCUA convenes twice per academic year (August & October) to consider all applications and to assign recipients. 
  • Once the recipients have been assigned, Scotia is then provided with the list.
  • Scotia | UWI Scholarships are based on academic merit (min GPA 3.0) and financial need.
  • Each year, ten (10) students pursuing studies in select areas: Accounting, Banking and Finance, Computer Science, Information Technology, Management, are awarded $10,000 each.
  • The CCUA advises the students/ beneficiaries approved to receive scholarships. 
  • Scotia remits scholarship funds to UWI who then liaises with beneficiaries to ensure they receive the funds.
