Business student Kayla Ebanks has been awarded USD $25,000 as the 2022 scholarship recipient of the CG Britcay Insurance Scholarship.
Miss Ebanks is currently attending the International College of the Cayman Islands where she is working towards completing her Associate of Science Degree in Business. Her long-term goal is to become a business analyst and entrepreneur.
