Codrington is a graduate of the Dominica State College

Former graduate of the Dominica State College, Peter Codrington, has been chosen as the 2017 International Student Scholar of the prestigious- Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University.

Codrington was selected from a highly qualified applicant group, reflecting recognition of his accomplishments and our belief that he will enjoy a successful and rewarding experience at Embry-Riddle. It is a tribute to the strength of his preparation and performance.

Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University is a private university system offering associate, bachelor, master’s, and PhD degree programs in Arts & Sciences, Aviation, Business, Engineering, and Security & Intelligence.

Called “the Harvard of the sky,” it is the world’s largest, fully accredited university system specializing in aviation and aerospace.

As the world’s largest and most respected university specializing in aviation and aerospace, Embry-Riddle has been at the forefront of groundbreaking aeronautical milestones since the early days of flight. With nearly 120,000 graduates around the globe, Embry-Riddle is not only leading the future, it is changing it.

It is the US’ largest, oldest, and most comprehensive aeronautical university. When you enroll in an aviation-related degree program here, you can be assured that you will study within a curriculum that is at the forefront of the industry’s developments and demands for the future.

Peter graduated with honors at the Dominica State College on October 2016 receiving 20 transferable credits out of the possible 61 that was completed, on entering, with a perfect 4.0 US converted GPA.

He received a near perfect SAT score in Mathematics and Grammar Usage, which definitely placed him at the top of the applicant pool for selection.

The scholarship is to be used toward tuition, fees or any direct university charges such as on-campus room and board. The scholarship amount will be divided and will be credited to his tuition charge each semester, upon his enrollment for the 2017-2018 academic year.

As an International Student Scholar, he will receive the award each fall and spring of his undergraduate degree program provided he maintains full-time enrollment at Embry-Riddle and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 at the end of each year.

    Absolutely brilliant young man, and kudos to you for exhibiting such a proactive, tenacious and enthusiastic approach to following your aspirations!

    You’ve most definitely set the barr very high for your peers/contemporaries to not only emulate, hence my prayer is they’ll strive to also replicate whatever their educational journey ambitions are, whether that is in a Vocational/Technical, or Academic discipline of choice.

    I know your family members very well, particularly those on your Mummy’s side, so can imagine just how exhilarated and jubilant they must be, as you grasp this opportunity to attend University. Well done indeed + the tough work has only just begun.

    Stay, focused, never allow distraction/obstruction from achieving uptimum excellence. *BEWARE of “malicious disciples”, who’ll most definitely be on the prawl to take you down! Choose your friends wisely, as not everyone who profess friendship is actually authentic. Lastly, always pray a lot for guidance…

      Who knows… with the contacts he will make in school, he might just be able to create or attract employment in Dominica. That’s what true giving back is all about.

      Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
