🎓🌟 Celebrating the Power of Education 🌟🎓 On October 20, 2023, we witnessed a remarkable moment of empowerment as the HEART/NSTA Trust hosted its inaugural TVET Tertiary Scholarship Award Ceremony. This incredible initiative awarded One Hundred and Twenty-Five (125) first-year students across 15 local tertiary institutions. It is not just about the numbers; it's about the impact. This scholarship is a giant leap towards advancing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Jamaica. For the young Jamaicans aged 17 and above, it's a golden opportunity to access tertiary education and pursue their dreams in TVET-related programs. The best part? The HEART/NSTA Trust generously covers eighty percent (80%) of their tuition costs for up to four years. These scholarships are not just changing lives; they're making dreams come true. Students are now reaching for the stars in fields like Industrial Engineering, Agricultural Education, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Marine Biology, Music in Performance, and Fine Arts. 🎵📊🌊🎨 Let's continue to support education and enable more dreams to take flight! #EducationForAll #DreamsComeTrue #TVETScholarships #besmartchooseHEART
