The firm became the largest independent scholarship-matching and college planning firm in The Bahamas.

Testimonial
My name is Brittany Moss-Rolle. I am a proud alumna of Midwestern State University. I began my college journey in August 2016. Mrs. Bridgette Francis-Ingraham assisted me every step of the way to accomplish my educational goals for my future career path. I studied Special Education and graduated in 2020 with honors.
After graduation, I did substitute teaching while I waited on my dream teaching job. After receiving my work visa, I was able to launch my first Special Education classroom of my own. I relocated to The Bahamas in 2021 and worked with students one on one that were at risk of failing. Eventually in 2022, I was able to establish my own Special Education School (New Providence Development Center). Mrs. Francis- Ingraham showed up to the launch of NPDC and brought a MSU representative with her, to show how much MSU made an impact on my career path. New Providence Development Center (located on Carmichael Road, opposite BFM Diplomat Center) caters to students with disabilities such as ADD, ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia and more.
I am grateful that I was able to receive a scholarship through Mrs. Bridgette Francis- Ingraham. Not only did she make sure that I received a scholarship, she also checked in on me frequently and provided support and encouraging words when necessary. I made a promise to her that I would come out on top, especially being the first to study Special Education coming from The Bahamas through her firm. I surely did make her proud, and I am glad that I was able to extend my gratitude to her on many occasions while she was here with us.
