Undergraduate Scholarships in Medicine - Medical Scholarships to be offered across the CaribbeanThe University of Grenada is to offer 75 full Undergraduate Scholarships in Medicine to people from across the British Commonwealth in an attempt to tackle the region’s ‘brain drain’.
Preference for the scholarships is to be given to developing countries and small states.
In exchange for financial assistance, the scholars will be required to put their skills to good use on return to their home countries.
The first scholarships will be awarded for the August 2007 intake, in partnership with Northumbria University in the UK.
Through this programme, students will take the first year of the basic medical science phase of the St George’s Doctor of Medicine degree at Northumbria , before continuing their studies in Grenada and St Vincent. The programme is targeted at students from developing countries or students who want to pursue a medical career in a developing country.
