Jonathan Henderson, of Morne Prosper, is the 2014 recipient of the Billy Doctrove Sports Scholarship.
Henderson, a student of the Christian Union Primary School received the award at a presentation ceremony on Wednesday afternoon.
He will be attending the St. Mary’s Academy.
The Billy Doctrove Sports Scholarship is sponsored by Big Edge Financial Express, in which Doctrove is the executive director.
Henderson said he is grateful for the award and promised to work hard and make everyone proud.
The young student has been described as a multi-talented athlete and is said to have proven himself to be a true sportsman.
“He demonstrated that he was skillful and competent multi-talented athlete where he represented his school in basketball and cricket,” Yehudi John, a representative from the Sports Division, said.
Henderson has also represented his school in the National Bank of Dominica (NBD) Primary School Football Championship.
Every year, for the past three years, Doctrove awards a Sports Scholarship to a student who have been successful at the Grade Six National Assessment and at the sport Division Schools Program in that year at a Primary School.
Chad Tavaniere of Soufriere was the first scholarship awardee and is presently a student of the St Mary’s Academy, while the Second Awardee was Jan Seraphine. She is presently in second form at the Dominica Grammar School and is doing very well as a netballer.
The Children’s Heart Fund and the Acute Psychiatric Unit at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) also received donations from Big Edge of $1,000 and two ceiling fans respectively.
Very friendly people in that office. Mrs Doctrove is great. Very welcoming. I have taken 3 small loans already there. Thanks for your support.
Please support this small business. I love their idea of constantly giving back to its people. That makes sense.
You have people at heart Bigedge. God will continue to bless you. You will receive more in return. Good Vibes.
Heartful thanks to Big Edge for the wonderful service they are providing to Dominicans.. your kindness will always be rewarded…
May God continue to bless this organization and the Doctrove family…
Thumbs up to Big Edge. I have known Mr. Doctrove for years and I am not surprised that he is using his millions to help so many people, he is a person with a great heart. Just a pity that he has turned down the opportunity to enter the political arena as he would have made an ideal Parl Rep, bringing much needed integrity and honesty to Government.
Nice, nice. I need a scholarship too for my nephew. He is an all rounder in cricket and football. How do I apply next time for him.. And I would like a loan too. Please help.
You will make it bigEdge. Thanks for giving to the hospital. They really need those fans.
WOW, give and you shall receive. I think they go by that motto. Very good initiative
Wow, that company again? Anyway, God Bless you all for the good that you do for people.
You have done it again Big Edge. Constantly helping in so many ways.
Congratulations!! Jonathan please make your benefactors and CUPS proud. Mr. George/Mr. Griffith, your hard work paid off. Mrs. Laville and teachers, I know you guys are smiling. Thank you Big Edge.
Thank you Mr & Mrs Doctrove for the great job that you all have done for Dominica. Such a small organization with such a big heart. You all have given generously in so many ways. God bless you all.
great job Big Edge!
I love me some Big Edge!! They helped me in my most difficult financial times. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I felt like part of the Big Edge family. I recommend everyone to take their loan here.
That Big Edge must be doing well, the amount of people and organizations they helping ,but I respect and admire them for that..
Big Edge is just 3 yrs. old and every time I put on my TV and radio I hear they giving back something to the community…well done. What are the other more established companies in Dominica doing?
Hope it will be my son next year. He is an avid cricket player and is also very intelligent.
Big Edge is giving back, hope others will follow
God bless Big Edge…I was in a jam and they stretch long enough and helped me.. They are very flexible with their policies
I like the atmosphere at Big Edge. The receptionist is welcoming and the staff even walk around to see if everyone is getting help. I got my loan in less that an hour..
Great business, wonderful people.
Big Edge has a special promotion guys. The rate is only 2%.
It has never been better any where else. Just took advantage of the promotion.
So every year Big Edge/ Billy Doctrove gives a sport Scholarship? That’s an incentive to the young kids.
I think every year they have been helping the Children Heart Fund also.
I love that! Way to go Big Edge.
Thanks Big Edge, you are a good cooperate citizen. Respect!
