Children of Albion Sugar Estate employees, who performed exceptionally at the recent National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA), on Thursday received bursaries in the tune of $960,000.
The awards were presented to 24 students at the Estate’s Training Centre. The bursary awardees were each given the sum of $6000, and are entitled to an additional $1000 each year for the next five years. This is, however, dependent on their “satisfactory attendance and performance” in school.
