Williams, a recent graduate and former head girl of Old Harbour Primary, will be attending the famed Campion College after logging an impressive 99.2 percent average in this year’s Primary Exit Profile (PEP) national exam.

The scholarship is valid throughout Williams’ high school years, excluding sixth form once she maintains excellent academic performance. Its value varies for each recipient, covering tuition, auxiliary fee and other school-related expenses.

Williams’ mother is delighted.

The 83 students, who commenced tertiary studies this academic year, along with 63 returning students were each awarded $200,000 in bursaries. The returning students were qualified for new bursaries based on academic performance.
