Inner-City Students Get High School Grants From Peter Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Peter Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund assists worthy students to pursue high school education.

"Proceeds from his [Peter Stewart's] funeral collection were donated to the Sunset Optimist Club of Kingston from which the Peter Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund emerged."

"The fund, which traditionally gives two scholarships per year in addition to grants, has disbursed some $1.63 million in funding assistance. [Janette] Stewart said while at present students are only assisted throughout their high school years, consideration might be given to further studies in the future. To remain in the programme recipients are expected to maintain a 75 per cent average."
