The winner of a Scotiabank-sponsored scholarship from The Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year Foundation, Amani Stuart, recently toured the bank's main branch and corporate offices on Bay Street.
The St. Augustine's College (SAC) seventh grade student spent the afternoon learning about banking operations while amassing a wealth of advice on success from bank executives who were thrilled to meet and interact with the accomplished young scholar.
Leah R. Davis, Scotiabank's senior manager for marketing and public relations, said, "Through Scotiabank's Bright Future philanthropic program, we serve as a patron sponsor of The Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year Foundation.
"Amani Stuart has distinguished herself among peers which led to national recognition by the foundation. We wanted to enrich Amani's experience by interacting with her on an individual level, presenting her with a personal gift in addition to the scholarship."
Stuart loves reading, acting, art and craft. She hopes to enhance her time at SAC by joining the drama club, junior achievement and perhaps trying out for sports.
Her favorite subjects are math, science and social studies. Though at the start of her high school career, Stuart is very focused on college and plans to attend Yale, Harvard or Princeton to fulfill her dream of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon.
The Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year program rewards and pays tribute to outstanding Bahamian primary school students who have exhibited academic excellence during an awards ceremony in May each year.
