2023 marked the 75th anniversary of both the Organization of American States (OAS) and The University of the West Indies (UWI). The Office of the General Secretariat of the OAS (GS/OAS) in Jamaica and the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) of the UWI, Mona campus therefore commemorated the Diamond Jubilee through various activities including the creation of the OAS-UWI 75th Anniversary Commemorative Scholarship Fund (CSF).
Scholarships of up to JM$300,000, per year, will be available to cover the cost of tuition and/ or housing at UWI, Mona. Students may apply for this complementary scholarship from the CSF to complete the final year of their degree program in the FSS, UWI Mona Campus, by submitting completed applications to the UWI, Mona Campus, Office of Student Financing (OSF).
Once selected for a CSF scholarship, students will have to accept, in writing, the scholarship offer from the UWI, Mona OSF, and by signing and returning to the GS/OAS Office in Jamaica, a scholarship agreement with the OAS.
