The Cecil Cooper Foundation Exhibition and Inaugural Scholarship were launched on June 17, 2022 at the Olympia Main Gallery in Kingston.  CHASE provided support for the launch and seed funding for the scholarship in the amount of $3.7M.  The mission of the Foundation is to assist the visual and performing arts.  A final year painting student will receive a full scholarship annually for the final year while bursaries will be awarded to four high school students matriculating to EMCVPA.  The Fund was represented by Board Chairman, Omar Frith, who delivered remarks.  Also in attendance were Director Duane Smith and Public Relations and Administrative Manager, Hilary Coulton.
