Caribbean Union Bank (CUB) is proud to announce Kelcy-Ann Tittle as the recipient of the annual Amaya Yearwood Memorial Scholarship.
Established in memory of the late Amaya Yearwood, a valued colleague who tragically passed away in October 2020, this scholarship celebrates Amaya’s legacy by supporting bright young minds from her alma mater, the Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT).
Kelcy-Ann Tittle, a native of Antigua, exemplifies academic excellence and determination. Her journey began at New Bethel SDA Academy, followed by five successful years at The Princess Margaret Secondary School, where she graduated with honours, achieving outstanding results in nine CSEC subjects, predominantly with grades one and two.
It was during her time at high school that Kelcy-Ann’s passion for business blossomed. She ventured into entrepreneurship through a small online clothing and accessories business on social media, learning invaluable lessons in customer service, marketing, cash flow management and communication.
Fuelled by this entrepreneurial spirit, Kelcy-Ann decided to pursue a career in sales and marketing. With the support of her mother, she enrolled at the Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT) to pursue her studies. Kelcy-Ann has consistently excelled academically, maintaining an impressive GPA while actively participating in classroom discussions, embracing the teachings of her instructors and thriving in collaborative group assignments.
“This opportunity means so much to me and my family. It will make a huge difference financially and motivate me to strive for academic excellence. As I continue my studies in Sales and Marketing at ABIIT, I look forward to achieving my goals with the completion of this degree,” said Kelcy-Ann.
The scholarship was presented to Kelcy-Ann Tittle at a ceremony held at the Caribbean Union Bank’s Starlings Branch, which was attended by Kelcy-Ann, her aunt, representatives from ABIIT and the bank’s management and staff.
The Amaya Yearwood Memorial Scholarship is a testament to CUB’s commitment to supporting the aspirations of promising students such as Kelcy-Ann Tittle, and to honouring the memory of a valued colleague, Amaya Yearwood.
