He also said they will continue to support VI students as they continue to excel both academically and professionally.

The scholarship programme he added continues to expand each year as the number of students joining the initiative continues to increase.

The BVI Asia Abroad Scholarship Programme supports VI students pursing studies in Asia, providing tuition fee support.

Dr Wheatley explained that the programme also fosters cross-cultural exchange, broadens academic horizons, and strengthens the VI’s long-term investment in the future of its young people.

He further stated that this year’s event marks another successful milestone for the scholarship programme, which plays a pivotal role in offering students valuable international exposure, academic experiences, and personal development.
