Inspiring Scholastic Achievement

By recognizing and rewarding those who achieve academic success, you inspire others. Such is the thinking behind Scotiabank’s ongoing commitment to education initiatives and our proud partnership with Guyana’s Ministry of Education.

Last year, top students from each of Guyana’s ten administrative regions earned full scholarships to the University of Guyana from the Ministry of Education as funding for books. Scotiabank added to the reward package by opening a personal Education Savings Plan (ESP) for each student and making the initial deposit to get them started on the path of regular saving for the important things in life.

“ESPs help students develop the good habits of financial planning and saving at an early age. We’re hoping to motivate others to realize the importance of an education and strive to achieve their full academic potential.” Amanda St. Aubyn

Scotiabank is proud to work with the Ministry of Education toward building a brighter future for Guyana and plans to award Education Savings Plans to top scholars on an annual basis.
