For Kevon Fredericks of Region Two, his five years of obtaining secondary education through the Hinterland Scholarship Programme was a life changing experience, since he was given the opportunity to write as many subjects as he wanted at the Caribbean Secondary Examinations Council (CSEC), without any financial burden on his parents.

GINA said that Fredericks is one of the 69 students hailing from different hinterland regions, who were awarded scholarships under the Hinterland Scholarship Programme. They graduated on Wednesday.
