 Notes:

  • The Association responded in a positive and timely manner to the needs of the Queen’s College family and the wider Guyanese community who were devasted by the floods in January and February, 2005. A total of US$4,000 was donated to students and faculty and US$1,500 to the Guyana Red Cross Society to assist affected communities.
  • In 2005, the Association joined with the United Kingdom Chapter to completely rehabilitate the school’s Physics laboratory, at a cost of over US$12,000. This is one of several projects jointly undertaken with other Queen’s College of Guyana Alumni Chapters, worldwide.
  • Since 2000, the Association has funded annual bursaries to graduating seniors who have met a rigid set of criteria. The bursaries honor our late founding Chairman, Vernley Ivor Ward. To date, six such bursaries have been awarded and four of the winners have proceeded to pursue studies in Medicine.
