The NSA is excited to announce that its schools program is experiencing tremendous growth! Participating schools include:
Primary Schools: Five Islands (two classes) Potters, Cobbs Cross, Golden Grove, Liberta, Bolans, Green Bay, Villa & Island Academy
Secondary Schools: Princess Margaret, Jennings, Irene B, Antigua Grammar School, All Saints, Pares & Sir Novelle Richards Academy
Tertiary Education: ABICE.
With a cost of $1,200 per child/youth per year to run the program, and 30 weeks per year of sailing provided free of charge to state schools, the cost of providing the scholarship per school of EC$18,000/ Us$6650 is significant.
The NSA is seeking sponsorships from corporate Antigua and private donors to ensure the programme can continue to increase the number of Antiguans and Barbudans employed in the yachting industry.
