The University of Guyana has received a cheque from the Baveghems family  to sustain the Eusi Kwayana award for the next three years.

According to a UG press release, given recent changes to the structure of the Education programme at UG, the family has approved amendments to the award. It will now be offered annually to two first year Bachelor of Education students who are proceeding to the second year of the programme, having completed year one in the normal period of time with a GPA of not less than 3.0 with no failed grades. Subject to the approval of UG’s Scholarships and Awards Committee, these changes will be effected from November, 2016, the release stated.
