The United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) continues to demonstrate its commitment to education and leadership development by supporting talented students across Grenada, the wider Caribbean, and around the world through its Chevening and Commonwealth Scholarship programmes.

The 2026 Chevening Scholars for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean were announced at the end of August, while recipients of the Commonwealth Scholarship Programme were also recently named.

Grenada’s 2026 Chevening Scholar is Ravon Charles, who will pursue a Master of Science (MSc) in Sport Rehabilitation at Loughborough University. Meanwhile, Akeyshur Bartholomew has been awarded a prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship and will undertake a Master of Science (MSc) in Medical Ultrasound (Echocardiography) at Imperial College London.
