The Saint Lucia Workers Credit Union (SLWCU) has presented five scholarships to the children of its members.
SLWCU President Mitchelson Phillips said three scholarships went to students entering secondary school and two to students attending Sir Arthur Lewis Community College.
He disclosed that the annual sum involved was approximately $4,500 for the secondary school students and $10,000 for the others.
