So I'm a second year (going on third year for 2025-2026) at UWI Mona and it's kinda rough right now to continue funding my education. My parents can't really pay off my tuition anymore, we did it for first year then I had to apply to SLB for this year and I will be applying again for the next school year but even with the SLB help, we still haven't paid off my second tuition in full. The penalty fees are starting to stack up and idek want to know what the repercussions are for me if this continues into the summer, well after the semester is done. My parents are trying but ends aren't meeting. I've been applying to scholarships, we already had an inkling that the SLB could only do so much but I did hear anything back AT ALL from any of the scholarships I had applied for. Maybe it's cause my GPA is relatively average but I at least thought the ones based on financial need would be enough. Anyway, all this to say, are there any scholarships that are about or grants or sponsors. I know of a couple ppl that have lower GPAs than me (just a reality, they showed me their grades and whatnot) and they are still fully sponsored and don't pay a dime. I'm just wondering if it's all just links or I could genuinely get help because I truly believe it would crush me to not be able to finish my degree.

How welcoming is UWI Mona and Utech for asian international students? Are there currently any asian students attending the campuses?

Question.

I was wondering if it would be feasible to write JA MOE for a scholarship/grant/aid. I’m currently attending a university in Trinidad, my 1st year.

I’m funding it my self out of pocket but I would like it a bit more, financial stability wise regarding school since I’m operating in a deficit.

I would like to know if there are any high schools with afterschool programs onsite at the high school in Kingston, Jamaica. Please provide any contact info please

Hello, I'm going to upper six this September and have recently decided to study medicine at UWI, Mona. However, I'm unsure about the steps involved. Could a current medical doctor or med student provide an outline of the steps to become a full-fledged doctor (including residency, specialization, internships etc) as well as the duration of each step? Additionally, please include any relevant scholarship opportunities.
To be frank, I can't afford the tuition so I'm going to have to use student loans and I'm wondering if the salary will be worth it?

I'm a student currently at sixth form that really is quite uncertain on what I want to do at university but I know that I generally want to go towards somewhere computing, cyber security or public health inspector but I don't know much about anything really pertaining to these areas like job availability, how competitive the area is, how well they pay and what the jobs in the areas are like. So this post is to reach out to any university students or people in the fields I just mentioned for insight on anything that could help me make a decision like the difficulty of the area to study and find jobs, how competitive the market is, the best place to study x(I currently have Utech, CMU and UWi in mind) etc. I have great CSEC passes in Chemistry, Biology, Information Technology, Math and Physics in case there is a direction you can point me in.
