Sammarieo Brown, second-year The University of the West Indies student, is a vision of excitement and hope after having been awarded the VM Investments Limited — Maurice C Robinson Business Management and Economics Scholarship, which he said was simultaneously unexpected and life-changing.

Brown, who is pursuing a double major in computer science and statistics, was the first recipient of the scholarship launched by VM Investments Limited (VMIL) in partnership with The University of the West Indies Development and Endowment Fund (UWIDEF) in September last year.
