The Government will be investing $10 million in the provision of new scholarships for outstanding students from the West Kingston constituency under the Edward Seaga Scholarship Awards (ESSA).
Minister of Local Government and Rural Development and Member of Parliament for the area, Desmond McKenzie, made the announcement during a ceremony for the renaming of Denham Town Primary School and Denham Town Infant School in honour of the late former Prime Minister, in the community on Thursday (June 3).
The scholarship programme was launched by the West Kingston constituency in 2019 with $3 million from the Government, in recognition of Mr. Seaga’s tremendous contribution to the development of the area and the wider Jamaica.
