The power of the village to put our children first
JURA Scholarship
Education is one of the three foundational pillars of JURA’s mission. The JURA scholarship offered is a renewable award of up to US $2,000.00 per annum, for up to three years, to individual students pursuing secondary education or above. The specific qualifying criteria are to be found outlined below. Significant emphasis is placed on need, in keeping with JURA’s commitment to helping the less fortunate.
Since 2014, JURA has awarded 25 Academic Scholarships, here in South Florida. We started out by awarding one-time scholarships and now have progress to supporting students throughout their entire 4-year journey. That is something that differentiates us from other organizations. When our donors support JURA’s mission, they can rest assured that they are making an undeniable impact in the lives of these students.
To apply for the JURA scholarship, please email info@jurafl.org and someone will reach out to you.
In-line with our commitment to education, we have also collated a list of relevant scholarships available to students with Jamaican connections.
