The Public-School Scholars Programme was instituted in 2015 to promote college readiness, equity, and access in the public school system. The award, ranging from $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 per academic year for a maximum of four (4) years, is a testament to our commitment to your future. Partnering institutions must offer a matching grant of equal or higher value. Eligible candidates who have attended a public school for at least one year must meet the Ministry’s scholarship criteria. First preference is given to first-generation college students and students attending college within the year of high school graduation. Qualified Bahamian public high school candidates must apply or be accepted to partnering colleges and universities. The interview process, a crucial part of the application, ensures that the most deserving candidates are selected for this prestigious opportunity.
The PSSP Academic Scholarship is awarded to well-rounded candidates with an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 or above, a minimum of five (5) BGCSE “C” passes, and SAT scores of a minimum of 850 OR ACT of 15. Applicants must be accepted to a programme that meets the national development goals as listed on the national priority list.
The PSSP Technical Scholarship is awarded to well-rounded candidates with a GPA of 2.5 or above who pursue a course of study that meets national development goals.
