Youth Allan Nairn receives the Roger Kelty Education Scholarship from the Rotary Club of South East Nassau
On August 7, 2024, The Rotary Club of South East Nassau (RCSEN) in partnership with The Insurance Company of The Bahamas (ICB) presented a prestigious six-year scholarship to Allan Nairn, a former Columbus Primary School student who was an active participant in their Rotary Early Act Rotary program. Nairn recently started his junior high class at St. Anne’s High School and is on his way to a successful year, having earned mostly “As” on this last report card. He has also assisted the RCSEN with their Books and Brushes community service project including the annual Smiley Bastian Steak Out.
The Roger Kelty Education Scholarship was established in honour of the late Rotarian who passed away December 30, 2021, as a tribute to his service to education in The Bahamas and his dedication to Rotary and his Club since joining in 1977, one year after the Club’s chartering. He was president from 1982-1983 and also served as an assistant governor in the 90’s. Kelty was an exemplary educator and strong advocate for education and literacy, and devoted his life to the ideals of Rotary.
When Allan Nairn received the news that he had been awarded the RCSEN’s Roger Kelty Education Scholarship, he shared, “I was shocked for the first few minutes, but once reality settled in, I became excited and grateful. Receiving this scholarship is more than just receiving money,” he added. “It symbolizes that there are people who see my potential and who also believe in me. This scholarship impacts my whole family, especially my two younger siblings who are looking up to me.”
This high school scholarship affords this youth the opportunity to attend St. Anne’s High School, and will cover a wide range of educational expenses, including tuition, textbooks, school uniform assistance, and back-to-school supplies. A Rotarian has been appointed to mentor the youth during his high school journey. Gifts presented to him included a brand-new computer and printer, sponsored by JS Johnson Insurance Company. Past President Rema Martin, also the general manager of the Insurance Company of The Bahamas was on hand to witness the scholarship presentation and was
happy to see another youth excelling.
