FOUR final-year engineering students at the University of Technology (UTech) were last week awarded bursaries totalling $320,000 by telecoms company Flow, through its foundation.

The students — Wardlan Borah who is pursuing a diploma in electrical engineering; Dimitri Harding and Ayshahvez Konowalchuk, who are both preparing for their bachelor of science degree in computer science; and mechanical engineering student Jerome Reid each received $80,000 following recommendations from UTech based on academic performance and financial need.

During a brief presentation at the university, Executive Chairman of the foundation, Errol Miller, encouraged the students to continue aiming for the highest and to use the knowledge they acquire to be benefit of Jamaica. He added that Flow was delighted to be able to provide assistance to four very talented young Jamaicans.

“As a company, we are happy to invest in the talent of these young persons who will go on to literally shape Jamaica and the world through their professional discipline in the future,” Miller said.

Head of The School of Engineering, Dr Noel Brown, thanked the foundation on behalf of the students. Dr Brown noted that the assistance was well needed and would ensure that the students had one less thing to worry about at this critical period of their studies.
