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.”
