Tabitha Sarabo-Halley

Minister of Public Service Tabitha Sarabo-Halley says government will continue to award scholarships for University of Guyana (UG) law graduates to pursue their Legal Education Certificate (LEC) at the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS) next year if it is re-elected.

Speaking with this newspaper recently, Sarabo-Halley said the Department of Public Service has not yet decided on how many scholarships will be offered, but added that the number will not exceed four (4), which is the number of scholarships that were offered earlier this year.

Sarabo-Halley also explained that the selection criteria will remain the same, that is, one scholarship will be awarded to the top graduating LL.B student, while a combined criteria or aptitude and a means test will determine the recipients of the other scholarships.
