Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina, recently signed a new agreement with the Commonwealth of The Bahamas’ Ministry of Education and Technical Vocational Training that will open the door for Bahamian students to attend the HBCU.
Under the five-year agreement, Ministry-sponsored students will receive combined institutional and government scholarship support covering a substantial portion of the annual cost of attendance at Benedict College. Students who receive these scholarships are encouraged to pursue degrees that align with national priority areas identified by The Bahamas, including business, education, engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, public health, and natural sciences.
“This agreement formalizes a partnership that is already making a difference in the lives of Bahamian students,” said Roslyn Clark Artis, president of Benedict College. “Benedict College is proud to stand alongside the Ministry in creating clear, funded pathways to a quality undergraduate education.”
Hey Roslyn Clark Artis,
Can you tell the HBCU community how does Benedict College benefit from the “one way partnership”? Instead of trying to increase the number of Third World country Caribbean country (Bahamas) students to Benedict College, your upper echelon administrators and especially RECRUITERs need dedicate that same amount time and resources in recruiting native born Black American students. More importantly Roslyn, we would like to know if the budget has significantly increased for RECRUITERs since your tenure at Benedict College.
More importantly Roslyn, we would like for you to explain why any top performing native born Black American HS student would want to matriculate at Benedict College. We are well aware of your previous academic stops at other HBCUs and the complete disarray you left them.
