SVN Student Awarded Prestigious Scholarship
Saraswati Vidya Niketan is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of our very own Anna Jeffers, who has been awarded a fully funded scholarship to pursue studies in Petroleum Sciences at a leading Chinese university.
Anna is among four top Guyanese students selected this year for this prestigious opportunity, granted through a collaborative initiative between the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited (CPGL). The scholarship will cover all education, transportation, and living expenses for the duration of her studies in China.
At the official award ceremony, attended by Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Vickram Bharrat, and China’s Ambassador to Guyana, Madame Yang Yang, the scholars were encouraged to embrace this unique opportunity to transform their lives, fulfil their aspirations, and contribute positively to Guyana’s future.
Upon completing her degree, Anna will join Guyana’s oil and gas industry, applying her skills and knowledge to support the sector’s growth and the country’s development. This program not only represents an investment in individual students but also reflects a long-term commitment to building local capacity in the petroleum sector.
The entire Saraswati Vidya Niketan family congratulates Anna on her remarkable achievement and wishes her success as she embarks on this exciting academic journey. We are confident she will make her school, community, and country proud.
