Education has the power to transform lives, but for many students, financial challenges stand in the way of their dreams. At the Jean Baker Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a chance to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. That’s why our scholarship program exists—to break down financial barriers and open doors to brighter futures.
Why Scholarships Matter
Imagine a student with big dreams but no means to pursue them. Maybe they aspire to become a doctor, a teacher, or an engineer, but tuition fees and school expenses seem impossible to afford. This is the reality for many students in Trelawny, Jamaica, and beyond. A lack of financial support often means that capable, hardworking students are forced to put their education on hold—or abandon it altogether.
That’s where you come in.
By contributing to or supporting our scholarship program, you’re not just funding tuition; you’re investing in someone’s future. You’re giving a student the confidence to chase their dreams, the opportunity to develop their talents, and the ability to uplift their families and communities.
What Our Scholarships Provide
Our scholarships are designed to reduce the financial burden on students and their families. Each award helps cover:
- Tuition fees – Ensuring students can continue their education without the stress of financial roadblocks.
- School supplies – Textbooks, notebooks, and stationery that every student needs to excel.
- Mentorship and Support – Beyond financial aid, we offer guidance and mentorship to help students navigate their academic journey.
The Impact
Your support doesn’t just fund education—it changes lives. The ripple effect is enormous: an educated individual contributes to their community, creates job opportunities, and inspires others to dream bigger.
How You Can Make a Difference
You don’t have to be a millionaire to change a life. Here are ways you can help:
- Donate – Every contribution, big or small, helps a student move one step closer to their dreams.
- Sponsor a Scholar – Provide ongoing support to a student and witness their journey firsthand.
- Spread the Word – Share our mission with friends, family, and your community to expand our reach.
