In a Facebook post, the Royal Anguilla Police Force wished Wills, who serves as a police superintendent, all the best with his studies.
“This achievement is a testament to his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to service,” the police force said.
“We wish him, and all successful scholars, the very best as they embark on this next chapter of growth and excellence.
“We also extend warm congratulations to all other successful Chevening scholars for 2025-2026.”
The Chevening Scholarship is a UK government-funded programme that offers outstanding individuals from around the world the opportunity to pursue a one-year master’s degree at any UK university.
The Governor’s Office will be releasing more details on this year’s scholars in the coming weeks.
