The Latest Secondary School Scholarships in Jamaica

Secondary school scholarships are the same as high school students’ scholarships, its just the use of different terms. Unfortunately, secondary school scholarships for 7th to 9th grade are not as common as scholarships senior year and for undergraduate students in Jamaica, unlike other developed countries.

This may be a result of the so called “free education up to the secondary level”, although it is now replaced by high priced auxiliary fees.

Secondary school scholarships for high school students are probably the most common category of scholarships by grade level. High school students are planning on starting college for the first time and likely don’t have other sources of funding lined up. Secondary school scholarships for high school students, therefore, are creating an investment in a student right at the beginning of his or her academic career and are providing funding that is likely desperately sought.
