The Commonwealth Study Abroad Consortium (CUSAC) Bursary Scheme
This scheme assists undergraduates to undertake part of their studies in a member university in another Commonwealth country. Bursaries are awarded for travel on the basis of an exchange agreement between two CUSAC member institutions.
The Caribbean Integration Program Bursary
The Caribbean Integration Programme was conceived in 2006, with a view to promoting the movement of
students across the four campuses of the UWI thereby re-kindling the spirit of regionality that had initially
characterized the University in the early days of its existence.
bursaries valued US$5,000 each, for students desirous of spending one semester at a campus other than their home campus. Recipients of the bursaries would use the US$5000 to cover expenses associated with airfare, accommodation and upkeep while at their host campus.

· have completed at least two (2) semesters of study at their respective campuses;
· are not entering their final semester;

Criteria:
The award will be based on:
· good academic achievement (minimum GPA of 3.0) in the previous year's University Examinations;
· verifiable involvement in co-curricular activities.
How to Apply
· Applications are available from the Campus International Office located on the different campuses;
· Complete application form in full, incomplete applications will not be processed;
· Application forms should be endorsed where indicated by the head of the department which
