I wish Rollins would do more work in his constituency. It appears he can be the "champion" of everyone else but those in the Fort Charlotte area. There was a thriving after school program while Alfred Sears was the MP, but now, I see no signs of the program. The Urban Renewal office is always closed. There are no visible signs like road works, clean up campaigns, meetings to voice concerns...nothing is really happening in any part of that area.
Those scholarships, from my knowledge and experience, are given based purely on academics. 5 BGCSE passes (C or above) will secure you a 2 year scholarship (excluding fees, tuition only). I graduated with 9 BGCSEs all A's and B's and as a result, I received a book stipend of $250 annually. This was over a decade, so things may have changed since then. I have friends and family members who have received these scholarships as well, all based on academics. I didn't need need to "know" anyone and nor did anyone in my family or any of my friends.
Perhaps there is some "favour" when you're speaking about Government grants and All Merit Scholarships to study abroad, but I have always known these COB specific scholarships to be based on BGCSE results.
Nice....No Name clearly understands the workings of this PM and indeed his entire party. The only matters that cause them to act are matters that are of importance to them! Love the use of sarcasm No Name!! Well Done Sir/Madam.
Amazing...we must find incentives for our politicians to act hahahaha best thing I've heard all day!!!
They actually do offer reimbursements for appliances damaged as a result of their power outages. I received money for a damaged AC unit, 2 tvs, and a computer. It takes patience though. You won't receive the total value but they will give you a substantial percentage.
