Castries, October 21, 2020 – The St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) scholarship programme now stands twenty-five (25) students strong. Offered to children of employees who are successful at the Common Entrance exam, the scholarship covers all educational costs for students entering secondary school and exiting the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. That includes the cost of approved text books, stationery supplies, a uniform allowance, school bag, school/facilities fees and one time CXC fees and Cambridge exams.

Melanie Fedee graduated out of the St Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) Scholarship Programme this year. She is proud to have performed well enough to maintain her scholarship throughout secondary school and the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. She credits the scholarship programme for keeping her focussed, determined as she was not to lose it even when challenged by A ‘Level Physics, which she suggests is “not an easy subject”.

Gaius Hendrickson St Marie, the sixteen year old who was awarded a scholarship from the Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) to attend the prestigious SPISE Programme in Barbados has returned home with two awards.

St Marie was judged the “Most Outstanding” and recognized with the “John and Dorothy Herzog Award” for which he received the autobiography “Steve Jobs” by William Isaacson. In addition he was also awarded the “Most Improved Student in Electronics”.
