2-year-old Cornelius Neale of Trinidad & Tobago has been named the 2013 Commonwealth Caribbean Rhodes Scholar.

Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave, the Chairperson of the Commonwealth Caribbean Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee, said Neale won from a field of six candidates from Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

Neale, from Marabella in San Fernando, south Trinidad, who intends to pursue a Masters in Environmental Change and Management, with an emphasis on Climate Change and its repercussions for the Caribbean, said he is “quite humbled by the moment.

“I am a bit speechless… It feels good to bring the award back to Trinidad, after some years. The first person I am going to call is my mum; I am a single child and she is a single parent, so she will be the first person to hear the good news,” Neale said.
