building relationships between the Diaspora and the region.
The Amos Bursary was set up in 2009 to help British born, state educated, African Caribbean boys
access professional careers. Every year, The Amos Bursary selects outstanding Boys of African
Caribbean heritage from Inner City schools in London. These students have been identified with
the ability and aptitude to pursue professional careers, but have personal, economic or social
factors which could act as a barrier to their academic success.
