WINSTON ‘DADDY’ RICHARDS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Established June 18th, 2021 and incorporated under the Companies Act, CAP 143
Act No: 1146 of 2021
The “Winston ‘Daddy’ Richards Memorial Foundation Scholarship” was founded by the family of the late Mr. Winston Churchill Arthur Richards, formerly of Kingstown Park (KP), for the benefit of children in his community. On the passing of Daddy as we all call him, we reminisced on the quiet life he led in the KP community but could not minimise the encouragement that community fathers like Messrs Williams and Douglas, amongst others, gave to Daddy, pushing him to persevere amidst hardships. This positively impacted a new generation of nation builders. A decision was then taken to set up a memorial scholarship fund to encourage someone – anyone – to persevere amidst hardships likewise. Beginning in October 2021, a scholarship for one successful CPEA candidate valuing $1,350.00, plus 4 book vouchers valued at $100.00 each will be awarded annually to qualifying CPEA students over a 5-year period, along with other assistance, funds permitting. Family, friends and well-wishers are welcome to post contributions to GECCU Account #1002547 at their convenience. Read more...
