Carrington-Philbert Scholarship Program

This scholarship was established by Malcolm Carrington and Sherwin Bridgewater in memory of our grandparents, who instilled indomitable values of education, pursuing knowledge and achieving excellence in spite of circumstances. The road was not always easy nor were resources readily available, but the will and desire to achieve were resolute.

Helping others was routine in our households. Our grandparents always insisted that if you have one plate of food and someone visited while you are eating, take another plate and share with them. These values have been passed on from generation to generation and we are ready, willing and able to take the torch.
