BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, September 22, 2023 (SKNIS) – The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and Southern University in Louisiana, USA, that will lead to significant benefits for the Federation in the fields of higher education and agriculture was officially approved by the university’s Board of Supervisors meeting held on Friday, September 15, 2023.
 
The signed agreement, which was laid in the National Assembly by Deputy Prime Minister the Honourable Dr. Geoffrey Hanley during a Sitting on Monday, September 18, will see students from St. Kitts and Nevis who are desirous of pursuing undergraduate studies at Southern University benefitting from significantly reduced tuition rates of under US$4,200 per semester for on-campus study. Tuition reductions will also extend to accommodate those pursuing Graduate (Master’s) degree programmes, online degree programmes, and certification programmes.
 
Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture is also expected to benefit through the sharing of information as the university boasts high-end food production and research facilities.
 
Negotiations on the agreement between the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and Southern University were led by Her Excellency Dr. Hadiya Claxton, Special Envoy for Investment, Development, and International Business Relations.
