The Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go (TATT) has signed bur­sary agree­ments with the Col­lege of Sci­ence, Tech­nol­o­gy and Ap­plied Arts of Trinidad and To­ba­go (COSTAATT), Uni­ver­si­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go (UTT) and The Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (UWI).

The move is aimed at build­ing in­for­ma­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion tech­nol­o­gy ca­pac­i­ty.

Through this ini­tia­tive, TATT will pro­vide fi­nan­cial sup­port to four un­der­grad­u­ate stu­dents pur­su­ing ICT-re­lat­ed stud­ies in Trinidad and To­ba­go at the stat­ed in­sti­tu­tions for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 aca­d­e­m­ic years. Since 2022, TATT has pro­vid­ed bur­saries to two fe­male and two male stu­dents pur­su­ing ICT-re­lat­ed stud­ies in Trinidad and To­ba­go COSTAATT, UTT and UWI.

TATT says it con­tin­ues to fa­cil­i­tate na­tion­al ICT de­vel­op­ment and is com­mit­ted to its role in this coun­try’s dig­i­tal progress, pro­vid­ing fu­ture pro­fes­sion­als with the sup­port need­ed to en­able Trinidad and To­ba­go’s dig­i­tal growth.
