Kregg Nurse Memorial Scholarship Award!

Each year, the Kregg Nurse Memorial Scholarship Award is presented to a disabled person who successfully completed at least one year of post-secondary school education, in any field. The awardee must also confirm the continuation of their formal education at a tertiary institution.

Since 2005, Caribbean Catalyst Inc. has spearheaded the selection and recognition of scholarship awardees in honour of Kregg Nurse. Nurse was a former employee of Ernst and Young who never allowed his disability to become an inability.

Ros Jackson, Managing Director of Caribbean Catalyst Inc. and former partner at Ernst & Young, was instrumental in hiring Kregg and recalled that when she met him in 1997, he was an amazing source of inspiration for her to “get more involved” in working with people who are differently abled.

Kregg story image 1

Kregg Nurse from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounts and subsequently became a Certified General Accountant.

Kregg was intelligent and excelled in his studies, always determined to never allow challenges to deter the achievement of his goals.

Kregg story image 2

Kregg was also known for his fun-loving nature as he enjoyed socialising and often brought vibrancy to the events he attended. Kregg sadly passed away in 2004 at the age of 27.

Caribbean Catalyst Inc. remains committed to celebrating the memorable life of Kregg through this annual scholarship and its beneficiaries.

This annual event was conceptualized by the Managing Director of Caribbean Catalyst Inc, Mrs. Rosalind Jackson and has been in existence since 2005. 

Each year the Award goes to an individual with a disability who has successfully completed at least one year of post-secondary school education, in any field, and is continuing their formal education at a tertiary institution.

In collaboration with his mother, Mrs. Linelle Nurse, our compelling why for offering this scholarship is to ensure that Kregg’s legacy lives on. Kregg was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy which rendered him to a wheelchair. Despite his circumstance, he was outgoing and displayed a passion for life.

His enthusiasm and drive remind us that people with or without visible disabilities are capable of great achievements. Kregg was the first student with a disability to graduate from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus (Class of 1997).

He held a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and later became a qualified Accountant, through the Certified General Accountant (CGA) qualification. He clearly demonstrated that one should not be seen as disabled but differently abled.

The team at Caribbean Catalyst seek to encourage people with disabilities to pursue their academic and career aspirations, with the hope that they gain meaningful employment and are genuinely integrated in all spheres of life.

Since establishing the Kregg Nurse Memorial Scholarship in 2005, we have supported 20 recipients, some of whom are:

In Memory of Wesley King – 2006 Winner of Kregg Nurse Scholarship Award

He was committed to his professional and personal development. Wesley pursued his Bachelor’s degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus.

Despite challenges as a quadriplegic, he successfully graduated with a distinction in Information Technology. Wesley would be remembered as an ‘incredible young man’ who like Kregg, showed “that his physical disability in no way limited his ability to achieve his goals.”
