WITH ACCEPTANCE numbers by new Cave Hill students in at least one faculty down by half on last year’s figures, campus officials were yesterday trying to get the word out that there were untapped sources of financing available.
In what could be called a last-ditch effort to bolster flagging enrolment, dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Dr Justin Robinson and co-chair of the Financial Aid Committee, Dr Donley Carrington, told journalists that a number of sources of finance from the Government, the campus and from private lending agencies, were available but were not being accessed.
Robinson revealed his faculty had sent out 1 077 offers to students who had applied. That number, he said, was an increase on the number of offers they had sent out for the 2015-2016 academic year. (HLE)
