Dear Editor,
Mr Clive Fredericks’ letter captioned “The original intention of the Hinterland Scholarship Programme was that students live with families in Georgetown”, (08.03.07) is not an opinion shared by all hinterland scholarship awardees, both present and past. Indeed, if research is carried out, as was most likely done by the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, on the present batch of hinterland students in Georgetown, most would agree that they would prefer to live in a dormitory with fellow hinterland students rather than living with guardians who are virtual strangers.
