The Trinidad & Tobago Fund was launched in April 1989 with its primary objective being the establishment of a Development and Endowment Fund which will enable the University to provide:

• Scholarships at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels to promote academic excellence, to alleviate the hardship of deserving students and to facilitate student interchange between the Campuses of the University.

• Funding of research in selected areas.

• Endowment of Chairs and Lectureship in key disciplines.

• Funding of capital projects.

The fund is managed by a committee comprising a Chairman and members representing Businesses, the U.W.I. Alumni and the University.

Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, is Patron of the Fund.
