Caribbean Integration Programme

The Caribbean Integration Programme was conceived in 2006, with a view to promoting the movement of students across the four campuses of the University thereby re-kindling the spirit of regionality that had initially characterized the University in the early days of its existence. The Caribbean Integration Programme is a bursary available to students participating in the intercampus exchange to the Cave Hill or St. Augustine campuses. The Bursary is valued at US$5,000 for students desirous of spending one semester at a campus other than their home Campus. Recipients of the Bursaries are expected to use the US$5,000 to cover expenses associated with airfares, accommodation and upkeep while at their host Campus. The host Campus would ensure that the visiting students are accommodated on Halls of Residence and would also have an appropriate cultural programme in place.
