The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has enacted a scholarship committee, labeled the ‘Guyana Football Scholarship Committee, which will have the mandate of formulating the federation’s scholarly programme.
This is according to a release from the body.
The committee which will be active for the duration of one year, comprises Chairman Olato Sam, Rawle Small, Henry Chase, Lavern Fraser and Charissa Rampersaud. The entity will be primarily responsible for creating the federation’s scholarship policy.
GFF President Wayne Forde during invited comment said, “As leaders, we have a moral obligation to create life changing opportunities for the young boys and girls, who passionately dedicate their lives to football. It is our duty to ensure that each player has equal and fair access to the boundless opportunities of their football experience and are inspired to model the qualities of good discipline, dedication and hard work.”
He added, “A solid education is a lifetime gift and I am confident that many of our players will follow in the footsteps of those who have benefitted from scholarship opportunities and have gone on the lead productive lives, while contributing to the greater good of the Guyanese society.”
