Vincentian student wins scholarship

For the third consecutive year, an international student from St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), living and studying in Toronto, has earned a full-tuition scholarship to pursue post-secondary studies at a Toronto college.

Tiffani Sardine, who began her Bachelor of Commerce programme at George Brown College in 2024, was first awarded a $1,000 bursary from the St. Vincent and Grenadines Association of Toronto Inc. to support her educational journey, a release from the Association states.

Building on that foundation, she has now received the Council of Caribbean Associations-

Canada (CCAC) full tuition-paid scholarship, sponsored by George Brown College, which will fund the remainder of her three-year programme up to $6,000 per year.

This milestone marks the third successive year that a student of Vincentian heritage has earned the CCAC’s most prestigious academic award, the Association also states.

In 2023, Lenron Doyle became the first ever recipient of the CCAC scholarship through Seneca Polytechnic.

In 2024, his brother, Donalan Doyle, followed in his footsteps by also earning the Seneca scholarship.

Now, in 2025, Tiffani Sardine continues the legacy at George Brown College.

The CCAC is an umbrella organization comprising the national associations of 13 Caribbean countries represented in the Greater Toronto Area. Each year, it awards bursaries and scholarships to students of Caribbean descent residing and studying in Ontario, including international students, based on academic achievement, community involvement, and leadership potential.

The Association added that it is “ amazing to see such a consistent stream of talented international students from St. Vincent and the Grenadines achieving recognition and financial support for their education in Canada”.

The 2025 CCAC presentation of awards will take place virtually on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
