The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with The University of Trinidad and Tobago, to implement a scholarship programme for the Tier I student-athletes of NGC/NAAATT Youth Elite Programme (YEP) who are interested in pursuing a tertiary education at the university.
This as NGC continues to observe its commitment to the key role that corporate T&T can play in athlete success by building a strong support system for track and field.
The scholarships, which will be funded by NGC, will cover all costs associated with YEP athletes’ course of studies as well as other aspects of their athletic preparation and training. The MOA essentially establishes a formal relationship between NGC and UTT, where UTT will provide education, accommodation and training facilities for YEP athletes.
NGC President, Mark Loquan, in his remarks at the signing ceremony, said NGC has been actively forging pathways to embed sustainability in its CSR programmes through strategic partnerships.
Professor Prakash Persad, President, UTT, stated that as the national University, UTT’s commitment to the development of local sport is of the utmost importance, and is displayed by its unyielding support of student-athletes who continue to excel in various disciplines.
