2. (U) In early June the Government of Antigua and Barbuda
(GOAB) announced the availability of seventeen scholarships
for undergraduate and graduate study abroad. Fifteen

government of Malaysia and seven participating universities.
These scholarships are part of Malaysia's extensive worldwide
technical cooperation program, which it offers to seventeen
countries in the Caribbean; the Malaysian scholarships are
limited to the fields of business and finance, science and
engineering, creative science and technology, agricultural
science, and linguistics. Two additional scholarships are
being offered in cooperation with the government of Greece,
with no limitation on course of study.
3. (U) Antigua PM Baldwin Spencer mentioned his desire to be
able to offer 25 scholarships to his country's youth for the
25th Anniversary of Antigua's Independence at a November 2005
meeting with Ambassador Kramer. At the time, Caracas-based
DATT Col. Lee Bauer presented the possibility of USG Service
Academy Scholarship opportunities to the PM (reftel).

4. (U) Post would appreciate WHA/ECA looking into the
possibility of any state or private universities in the U.S.
offering scholarships targeting Caribbean nationals that post
could bring to the GOAB's attention.
