Only the biological parent or legal guardian can apply on behalf of the child if the child is without an active JN Bank account. Claudine Allen, general manager of the JN Foundation, said the foundation is honoured to be able to support the best and brightest through funding for secondary education.
“Assisted by the generosity of companies with the JN Group, we are able to award some $9 million in scholarships annually, a significant amount of which goes to our youngest scholars,” she said.
The foundation currently provides funding for more than 140 youngsters who maintained good grades having initially received the award on successful completion of their PEP exams.
“In September, many will commence fifth form, and will conclude the tenure of the scholarship at year’s end. At the same time, in September we will welcome a new cohort who will commence this five-year journey with their JN family. It is an exciting and rewarding period,” she added.
The JN Foundation PEP Scholarships will be awarded to one recipient from each parish, while the JN Bank Easi-Save County Scholarship will go to one child from each county. The PEP scholarships are also available to children of employees of the Jamaica National Group.
