Shortwood Teachers’ College students benefit from Jocelyn Patricia Griffin Trust
THREE students at Shortwood Teachers’ College have been selected as the first awardees of the Jocelyn Patricia Griffin Trust.
The three final-year students in the Department of Childhood Education, Suddanya Martin, Peta Ann Sthamp, and Rajay Wright, were each awarded scholarships valued at $500,000.
The trust seeks to honour the life of Griffin who bequeathed $12 million to Shortwood Teachers’ College to assist students through scholarship and occasional grants based on need.
Griffin graduated from the teacher’s College in 1958 and taught locally before migrating to the United States in 1967.
