The Government of Anguilla has approved an increase of up to 40% in living expense support for students receiving government scholarships.
The announcement, made in a social media post on 26 October, marks the first such increase since 2008.
“In an ever-changing global and financial environment, the Government continues to prioritise education as a cornerstone of national development and empowerment,” the post says.
“By strengthening support for our students, we reaffirm our belief that access to education and opportunity remains one of the most powerful tools for building a resilient, prosperous Anguilla.”

“We take this opportunity to wish all our students continued success in their studies and encourage them to pursue excellence as proud ambassadors of Anguilla wherever they may be,” it added.
Anguilla Focus has reached out to the Department of Education for further details and is awaiting a response.
