Virgin Islands residents pursuing graduate studies or cultural projects, are encouraged to apply. Applicants seeking graduate degrees to teach in the Virgin Islands at the secondary level, particularly in areas of mathematics and science, are especially encouraged to apply.
The VIACAE program was created by the Virgin Islands Legislature in 1970. It provides financial support to eligible VI residents with a desire to advance their academic and professional studies, and also to those with a desire to engage in cultural projects that will provide significant benefit to the people of the Virgin Islands. Applications and further information is available from the Office of the Provost, www.uvi.edu or from this direct link: http://www.uvi.edu/administration/provost/initiatives/viacae.aspx. The application deadline is May 29. For more information contact the VIACAE Program Office at (340) 692-4285.
