The Dominica Agricultural, Industrial and Development Bank has offered transitional scholarships to two students commencing their secondary education at the Isiah Thomas Secondary School (ITSS). The Bank is extremely pleased that as part of its corporate social responsibility, it has afforded two students from CHANCES the opportunity to attend ITSS.

Both students wrote the 2016 grade six (6) national assessment examination and were successful, despite the challenges they may have faced before becoming part of the CHANCES family.

The recently approved $10 million dollar Line of Credit for Agriculture from the Government of Dominica, with resources earned from the Citizen by Investment Programme (CBIP), is being shared equally between the pork and poultry industries and crops, other livestock, fishing and general agriculture enterprises.

The Dominica Agricultural Industrial and Development Bank has increased its sensitization to stakeholders within the Agriculture Sector with respect to the $10 million dollar Line of credit from the Government of Dominica.

Since the recent signing of the Agriculture Loan Agreements, there have been increased consultations with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, individual farmers and other key stakeholders within the sector.

On Wednesday 6^th July 2016, The Agricultural Industrial and Development Bank attended the Isaiah Thomas Secondary School enrolment ceremony at the school’s grounds.

16 new students pledged to conform to the rules of the Dominica Cadet Corps and to be good citizens of the Commonwealth of Dominica. AID Bank sponsored one of the young recruits, Mathy Bernard.
