As of June 24, 2026, IMA Grenada lists a US$235,000 NTF contribution for a family of four, but siblings, parents or grandparents aged 55 and under, age-17 due diligence, interviews, and sponsors can change the real budget.
As of June 23, 2026, Antigua and Barbuda's official UWI Fund page sets US$260,000 for a family of six or more and gives one family member a one-year tuition-only UWI scholarship, with due diligence, passport fees, and payment timing still separate.
