Lion Roy Ward Scholarship Launches | Barbados News

Barbados Community College just unveiled the Lion Roy Ward Scholarship, a groundbreaking initiative funding full registration fees for agriculture students pursuing associate degrees — a first for the field in this institution. Created by the Lions Club of Barbados North to honor their founding president, Lion Roy Ward — a titan of Barbadian agriculture who shaped sugar cane, dairy, and Sea Island cotton industries — the scholarship isn’t just about tuition; it’s an investment in the island’s future. The inaugural recipients — Delano Lorde, Traude Walton, and Joshua Yearwood — were selected for academic excellence and visionary essays on farming’s future, spanning dairy, entomology, and AI integration. Their diverse passions reflect agriculture’s evolution, while the scholarship embodies Roy Ward’s legacy: empowering young minds to lead Barbados’ next agricultural revolution.
