The students have all been accepted into the higher learning institutions with significant awards and scholarships.

They are Rayana Henderson, T’keyah Alleyne, Khe´-G Baron, Chriscel Breedy, Bry Evans, Beyonce Francis, Jarrett Jean-Jacque, Janae Rabess, Turram Toussaint  and Ethan Yankey.

They will start the 2022 Fall Semester as freshmen at the following universities and colleges  – Fairleigh Dickinson University, Syracuse University, Dartmouth College, Grinnell College, Eastman School of Music- University of Rochester, Howard University, Agnes Scott College, Jacksonville University, Hampshire College and Mercer University.

MDC Education Consultant Mr. Michael Pascal said in a press release that he is impressed, as due to the global COVID-19 Pandemic, many of the students completed most of the academic year through remote learning.

” It was inspiring to see them take on the challenge and make the most of it. Some students attended classes from their homes in Dominica.  We are very proud of them and all they have accomplished.”

The MDC US Study Program wishes to extend many congratulations to Class of 2022 and their parents. We wish them all. continued success for the next 4 years of their academic journeys.

    Congrats to all but just two question. What education level do the children attain at boarding school instead of attending the Dominica State College? Are the credits attained at the boarding school transferred to the university?

    Really seeking for clarity.

    Just wanted to verify. Are any of these individuals from the North East or Marigot area. Why is it that 98% of the people in Marigot or its environment is not aware of or is not participating in this. Sounds fishy to me.

    Anyways, Congratulations!!
