CIMPA Announces 2020 Scholarship Recipient

The Cayman Islands Marketing Professionals Association (CIMPA) is pleased to announce Rosita Ritch as the second annual recipient of its CI$5,000 scholarship to support local students with an interest in marketing or other related field.

CIMPA Chair Julian Foster says the non-profit is proud to support Ms. Ritch’s educational goals.

“Rosita’s drive to succeed, academic performance and demonstrated commitment to marketing made her application stand out,” he says. “

Having recently completed her associate’s at the University College of the Cayman Islands, Rosita is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Management (Marketing). Eventually she hopes to achieve a master’s in Business Communication and Marketing. 
 
Now in its second year, the CIMPA scholarship was established to help cultivate the next generation of leaders in the marketing industry and related fields. To eliminate any potential for bias, all applications were submitted anonymously to the Scholarship Evaluation Committee for scoring.

“Once again, our Committee was impressed by the high standard of the applications received. Particularly given the impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty many students are facing,” Mr Foster says.

The 2021 CIMPA Scholarship application period will open next year in May.
