BUSINESS student Karisha Rajkumar feels humbled and grateful for having brought Vessigny Secondary School its first scholarship in 11 years. The aspiring accountant said she still cannot believe it.
The 19-year-old student wrote the CAPE examination last year and got grade ones in both units for management of business, accounting, economics, communication studies and Caribbean studies. She earned an open scholarship.
On Thursday, the Ministry of Education announced the 100 scholarships.
She recalled initially hoping she could earn a scholarship, but after the Education Ministry announced they were being reduced from 400 annually to 100, she didn t think it was possible.
