Track and Field standouts, Onasha Rogers and Claudrice McKoy are guaranteed a sum of $230,000 each annually for the next four years after signing an MoU with the National Sports Commission (NSC) yesterday.

The grants which would have initially covered the cost of attending the University of Guyana (UG) will now be used for offsetting expenses while attending Monroe College in the United States of America.

Following a successful outing at the CARIFTA Games this year, members of the team which included the duo were awarded full scholarships to attend UG, however, Rogers, a sprinter, and middle distance specialist, McKoy, were subsequently offered and accepted scholarships to Monroe College.
