Scholarship donors can be large or small donors, corporate companies, schools, foundations, small business or individuals.
Scholarships and bursaries are investments in the future. Since launching, we (through Next Move Jamaica) has awarded over 75 scholarships to deserving high school and college students since 2010 thanks to the generous donations from professionals like yourself and corporate clients.
Scholarship donors awards are funded by generous corporate and individual benefactors. These benefactors include those listed here. Each donor determines the criteria for their scholarship.
