Congratulations to the First Cohort of NBCF/BOOST Fellows|2021

The National Baking Company Foundation (NBCF) Enhancement Scholarship Fund was established through Agreement with The University of the West Indies, Mona (Faculty of Science and Technology) and the National Baking Company Foundation in March 2021. The programme was officially launched on April 27, 2021. The overall objective of the programme is to enhance STEM education in Jamaica by providing a continuous stream of quality science and mathematics teachers through an innovative ‘back-end’ incentivized scholarship programme that entails ‘Building Out Our Stem Teachers’ (BOOST). It is anticipated that the programme will be implemented through a 6-year pilot. The programme also has the objective of encouraging students to see giving back to their country as a noble and viable option at the beginning of their career.
