The recipients\u2014 Akilah Baron, Shannia Drigo, Chaelle James and Harley Joseph \u2014were selected from a competitive pool of applicants for their outstanding academic achievements, community leadership, and compelling personal resilience.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThese recipients are more than just students with outstanding grades; they are innovators, leaders, and compassionate advocates who have already demonstrated a profound commitment to uplifting others. Each one has a story of resilience and determination that is truly inspiring,\u201d said Sylma Brown, the ADNExUS president. \u201cIn them, we don&#8217;t just see the future of law, medicine, and engineering; we see the very soul of a community that gives back.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b>Meet the Inaugural ADNExUS Scholars<\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The 2025 ADNExUS scholars represent a diverse range of talents and aspirations, each with a unique story of determination:<\/div>\n<div><b>Shannia Drigo\u00a0(Warner, Dominica)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<b>US$2,500<\/b>: Raised in Good Hope, Shannia is pursuing a Bachelor of Laws degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.
