Welcome

Trent University and The University of Guyana (UG) is excited to announce a new funding program to support the education and initiative of Guyana's future leaders in fields crucial for the development of the sustainable sectors of the Guyanese economy

  • Students accepted into the program will be fully funded for tuition, and will receive stipends for living and travel expenses.

  • Student's research project costs will be funded.

  • Graduate students will be trained, supervised and mentored by Trent University’s faculty who are internationally recognized experts in their fields of study .

  • Each student will focus on a research project that brings measurable sustainable benefits to Guyana.
     

A unique strategic partnership between two universities and two companies with the desired outcome of enhancing Guyana's environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability

  • The partners share the Vision that Guyana is on the doorstep of tremendous prosperity.

  • Critical at this moment in time is a need to build the educational, research and innovation talent at the University of Guyana so that the country becomes equipped with a cohort of strong leaders contributing to Guyana's growth and transformation.

  • All new research will address the achievement of one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as they apply to Guyana.
