11 May - August 2021 | VOICES Bi-Monthly Magazine of the University of Technology, Jamaica This scholarship means a lot to me because coming from a background which is not rich, and I’m the first person in my family to go to University, it really really means a lot. This award definitely means a lot. This is the second year I’ve been awarded this scholarship and it really gives me the drive to carry on, knowing that I am being recognized for putting in the work. To be awarded the 60th Anniversary Scholarship twice is definitely an accomplishment for me. UTech, Jamaica high achievers who were recipients of the 60th Anniversary Scholarship were asked “What does this scholarship mean to you and how will it help you advance your studies?” Read on for their responses. This award means that I’m finally being recognized for the hard work I’ve been putting in over the four years I’ve been here. I am very grateful and honoured that I received this award because I did not quite know how my second year would be financed. I am happy to be among those chosen for this scholarship. The hard work and sleepless nights paid off; all the sad days and the crying. I am very grateful to be here.
