Education – Your Passport to the Future
Each year, Neal & Massy Credit Union Co-operative Society Limited (NMCU) provides financial assistance to eligible students/members to encourage personal and professional development. Access to these awards was for members in good standing at the credit union who performed well scholastically, in the annual national examinations.
Through the credit union, Education Grant members have the opportunity to apply for grants aimed at primary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate courses in accredited schools, colleges and/or universities.
This year, several of our youth members were recognized for their accomplishments at:
- Secondary Entrance Assessment Grant (SEA) Grant
- Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Level Grant
- Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) Grant
For 2022, the Education Committee added the Continuous Education category for members who were not eligible for the Education Grants for CSEC or CAPE to pursue a diploma, a certificate, an associate degree or an undergraduate degree at an institution of study.
The Programmes of Study covered under the above-mentioned grants were for:
- Professional Training and Development
- Degree Programme
There was also a category for Cipriani College of Labour and Cooperative Studies (CCLCS) to pursue studies in degree programmes, associate degrees, certificate programmes and Introduction programmes. However, the credit union did not receive any applicants for those categories this year
