For over 13 years, the LUCELEC SPISE Scholarship has provided 14 Saint Lucian students with a transformative opportunity to excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This initiative, in collaboration with the Caribbean Science Foundation, enables promising students to attend the prestigious Student Programme for Innovation in Science and Engineering (SPISE), a five-week summer program hosted at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill campus in Barbados. SPISE offers an intensive STEM curriculum, including college-level courses and hands-on experiences, designed to nurture the next generation of innovators. On National STEM Day, St. Lucia Times interviewed seven SPISE alumni to explore the program’s profound impact on their lives, the ripple effects of LUCELEC’s investment, and their aspirations to shape the future through STEM. Nehal Wadhwani, the 2022 SPISE scholar, credits the program for solidifying her passion for engineering. After SPISE, she studied at Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, captained Saint Lucia’s robotics team in Singapore, and is now pursuing mechanical engineering at Columbia University. Dion Recai, the 2016 scholar, transitioned from engineering to computer science, interned in Austin, Texas, and is now completing his Master’s at the University of Manchester. Hailey Boriel, the 2020 scholar, is a graduate student at MIT, focusing on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Aidan Bousquet, the 2019 scholar, graduated from MIT in biological engineering and is exploring research opportunities in autoimmune diseases. His sister, Alannah Bousquet, the 2023 scholar, is a freshman at Princeton University, considering a career in electrical and computer engineering. Marie-Thérèse St Clair, the 2024 scholar, is now at SALCC, inspired to pursue electrical or mechanical engineering. Keiriann Breen, the 2025 scholar, is an Advanced Level student at Vieux Fort Comprehensive Secondary School, determined to become an engineer. These scholars exemplify the life-changing impact of the LUCELEC SPISE Scholarship, showcasing how early investment in STEM education can unlock limitless potential.
