CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet was informed of a newly established agreement between Monroe University and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, following recent discussions held between Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the university’s President, Mr. Marc Jerome.

Under this agreement, ten Antiguan and Barbudan students will receive full scholarships to pursue studies at Monroe College in New York, with tuition costs fully covered.

This initiative is specifically available to students who will attend as commuters.

The scholarships will support studies at the Associate or Bachelor’s degree level.

This partnership aligns with the Government’s broader education policy, which aims to ensure that every household in Antigua and Barbuda has at least one member with a tertiary-level qualification, thereby advancing national development through accessible higher education.
