10 students receive GLASS bursaries with focus on financial literacy

The Guyana Logistics and Support Services Inc (GLASS) Group of Companies and the Guyana Americas Merchant Bank (GuyAMBank) partnered to support ten students who excelled in the recent National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA).
The bursary award ceremony, held at the GLASS Office on 87 Barrack Street, Kingston, Georgetown, on Thursday, recognised the children of the employees of the GLASS Group of Companies.

Speaking on behalf of the GLASS Group of Companies, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Glenn Low-a-Chee explained that this year’s bursary programme differs from previous years, because it incorporates financial literacy and investment opportunities for awardees and their families.
“We wanted to go beyond providing financial assistance by introducing a component that encourages long-term financial planning and investment. Through this initiative, we are giving parents and students a head start on their educational journey,” he said.
General Manager of GuyAMBank, Ganesh Jaikaran, stated that the bank was pleased to partner with GLASS in supporting the next generation.
“Investing in young people today helps build a stronger future for Guyana. We are proud to be part of this initiative,” he noted.
Parents of the awardees also expressed appreciation to GLASS and GuyAMBank for creating an opportunity that promotes both education and financial empowerment from an early age.
This year’s GLASS bursary awardees are Anthony David, Talicia Hazel, Bryan Samuels, Arianna Chattersingh, Kia Ketwaroo, Jamella McBean, Kristin Weekes, Sky Johnson, Brandon Lee, and Henriquo Phillips.
The initiative comes on the eve of Financial Literacy Day, which is observed today, further underscoring the importance of educating young people about sound financial practices and long-term investment planning.
