Public school students are being encouraged to pursue college education like never before, thanks to the Public Schools Scholars Programme. Mrs. Monique Hinsey, the programme’s administrator is no stranger to colleges and universities both locally and internationally and is regarded as a scholarship guru. She is now leveraging her experience to empower scores of public schools students and their parents of the scholarship opportunities available to them.
The Bahamian public school system has no shortage of bright minds. Many of its students are academically astute and have the aptitude necessary to matriculate to college. One of the biggest obstacles for most of the students pursuing a tertiary education, whether locally or abroad is finances – many of them simply do not have the financial resources required to fund a college/university education.
Minister of Education, Science and Technology recognized a sad reality when he assumed office. He realized that less than seven percent of scholarships were being awarded to public school students. He also noticed that the number of public schools students applying for colleges was significantly lower than private/independent school students. Bothered by this fact, Minister Fitzgerald took action and with the expertise and experience Mrs. Monique Hinsey, a scholarship programme specifically for public school students was designed in an attempt to bring some degree of equity as the public school system makes of 75% of our student population.
The Education Minister truly believes that a student’s family’s financial posture should not prohibit a child who has the desire and ability to attend college to be deprived of such an enriching life experience. “I am deeply bothered when I hear of students who have applied and been accepted to colleges having to forfeit the opportunity simply because their families cannot afford it. I don’t think money should never prevent a child from furthering their education.”
Since 2014, Mrs. Monique Hinsey has been working assiduously to secure Memoranda of Understanding with various colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. In 2015, nineteen (19) public school scholars had the opportunity to pursue their dreams of college education and this year, that number tripled to fifty-seven (57). Next year, it is hoped that at least one hundred (100) public school students will receive scholarships.
A series of events were recently held to provide students and their parents with pertinent information regarding the scholarship application process and to ensure that they are well informed to take advantage of the scholarships available through the Public School Scholars Programme.
The first event was an Open House for the district superintendents of New Providence and gave an extensive overview of the Advanced Placement (AP) programme and the Public School Scholars Programme.
The second event was a parent’s information session, a forum for parents and guardians to learn more about AP and PSSP and the other initiatives of the Scholarship Resource Centre. Testimonials by parents whose children are benefitting from the programme were shared as well.
The third event was a PSSP Student Symposium. This was a hands-on workshop for the 2017 PSSP candidates. The purpose of the workshop was to assist this year's PSSP applicants with the tools needed to complete their college applications. They were also provided support and given guidelines to writing winning college essays. More than three hundred (300) students from the eight public senior high schools in New Providence attended the symposium. The guest speaker for the event was Artist Jeffrey Meris, a graduate of C.R. Walker Senior High who shared his humbling yet life-changing college experience.
The final event was the College Round Table. The primary focus of this event was:
· to connect 2017 PSSP candidates and their parents with the MoEST’s college partners
· to learn more about the colleges while getting a better understanding of the admissions process
· to give students a better understanding what the colleges are looking for in ideal college applicant
· to provide a detailed overview of the scholarships available and the present MoEST scholarship agreements with the various institutions.
Approximately 300 parents and students attended the event. Ms. Angela Wilson who attended several of the meetings had this to say,” what an on time blessing for our Bahamian children. I have attended several of the meetings at Anatol Rodgers High School and to hear and see the excitement of the parents and students was awesome. Finally the government schools have opportunities they also deserve. Go team Hinsey! You guys are doing an awesome work. Continue to be a blessing to the children.”
