Flow Launches Youth-Focused Initiatives Honoring Two Dominican Icons 

Flow Dominica is proud to introduce two new initiatives to support the academic, professional,  and athletic growth of Dominican students: 

• The Thea Lafond Gadson x Flow Sports Scholarship 

• The Ferdina Frampton x Flow Award and Internship 

These programs pay tribute to Olympic gold medalist Thea Lafond Gadson and the late  marketing professional Ferdina Frampton, two Dominican women whose legacies inspire  excellence and service. 

“These initiatives are powerful expressions of our promise to keep the ‘riddim flowing’—not just  with our services, but through opportunities that make a difference,” said Sharon Jemmott,  Country Manager at Flow Dominica. “They reflect our commitment to national development and  youth empowerment.” 

Thea Lafond Gadson x Flow Sports Scholarship 

This scholarship celebrates secondary school student-athletes who excel both in the classroom  and on the field. It includes: 

• One year of free high-speed Flow broadband 

• A $1,500 grant for books and supplies 

• Mentorship with athletic and academic leaders

“This scholarship represents everything I believe in — hard work, education, and community,”  said Thea Lafond Gadson. “I’m honored to help young athletes access the tools they need to  thrive.” 

Application Period: August 7–25, 2025 

Applicants must submit a 200-word essay, academic and sporting records. Final selection will be  made by a panel from Flow and Thea’s team. 

Ferdina Frampton x Flow Award and Internship 

This award celebrates the legacy of Ferdina Frampton, a beloved Flow colleague and pioneer  in Dominican media and communications. 

Offered to a Dominica State College student studying Marketing, Communications, or a related  field, the award includes: 

• A 4-week paid internship at Flow 

• Professional mentorship and career coaching 

• Recognition for academic and leadership potential 

“Ferdina shaped the voice of our brand. This award ensures her legacy continues through the  next generation,” said Francine Harve Jean-Jacques, Flow’s Marketing & Communications  Executive. 

Flow’s Ongoing Commitment to Youth Development 

Flow is working with the Ministry of Education and Dominica State College to ensure wide  access and visibility for these programs. Application details will be promoted via social media  and official school channels. 

“These are more than scholarships — they’re pathways,” added Jemmott. “We’re planting seeds  of impact that will grow year after year.”
