Nicholas & Janice Brathwaite Award

Worldwide, about 124 million children and adolescents do not attend school.

Building on the success of the Nicholas and Janice Brathwaite Award, the Brathwaite Scholarships were instituted in 2016, to add to the number of students from the Caribbean who can complete a degree at McMaster University.

One of the key objectives of the Brathwaite Scholarship is to help individuals who have strong scholastic ability, but who do not have the means, to pursue a high-quality post-secondary education.
