Award and Scholarship Program
Among
other things, Our main objective suggested while discussing the formation of
our Alumni Association is to aid in the development of current and future
students both academically and physically. We will offer a number of
scholarships for various streams and interest. Academics will be our focus
while giving some attention to The Arts and Sports.
Our History is quite
rich with success stories attain through hard work and tremendous efforts.
In each of our intake, there were memorable moments and people who might not
have be given the attention others commanded, but perform remarkably and did
command the attention of those who matters, your classmates.
When
scholarships become available, you'll be able to register and apply online.
We will notify you on the availability. Please use form below to apply for
available awards.
Our
Endeavour will provide continued rewards for excellent performance. Our
intention is to provide a opportunity for children of all ethnicity and
backgrounds to go further than just a high school education. With funding we
intend to sponsor eligible students to go on to University of Guyana or
University of The West Indies. Our only requirement is sustained attendance.
Disbursements will be considered at the time of acceptance into our
scholarship programs.
Athletic scholarships will also be available.
Scholarships will not be considered unless a B average is maintained. We'll
be applying for sponsorship from colleges in the West Indies, United States
South America and the United Kingdom.
The Arts will not be outdone. We
encourage the growth of artistic abilities by providing funding and medium
for excellence. Drama and elocution will be re-introduce into the school.
Aspiring actors/actresses, poets, writers, photography, screen work,
painters and all genre of arts will be explored.
Students whose parents
are members of the Alumni Association will be given first preference.
MHSAA Launches Award Program
In
October 2008, MHSAA launched the “Dr. Gary Stephens” Science Award. The
purpose of this award is to encourage and promote advanced studies in the
fields of Science and/or Medicine. Dr. Gary Stephens, himself an alumni of
MHS, practices in the State of New York and has performed the first
successful open heart surgery in Guyana. Dr. Gary Stephens has donated the
initial amount of US$5,000.00 and has pledged similar amounts annually. The
“Dr. Gary Stephens” Science Award will be administered by the MHSAA and will
be awarded to one or two students annually. To be eligible for the award the
Student/s must demonstrate exceptional ability in the field of Science and
intend to pursue advance studies in this field at a post Secondary
Institution. Performance at the CSEC examination will be the index of
ability. We hope that Dr. Gary Stephens’s philanthropic gesture will serve
as a precedent for other alumni even as it reinforces our belief in selfless
giving. We are encouraged to keep giving of our time and resources to
provide much needed assistance to the students and the staff of Mackenzie
High.
