Sagicor Invests $7.5M in Jamaican Scholars | Jamaica News
Description
Jamaica’s brightest young minds are getting a major boost—$7.5 million in scholarships and grants for 44 students, helping them chase dreams in law, engineering, and more. Jaleel Smith, a law student, snagged a hefty scholarship plus an innovation award to fuel his mission to give back. Tara Kelly, who pivoted from fashion to nursing, received a $300,000 lifeline after paying her first two years out of pocket. With 1,400 applicants competing, winners were chosen based on grades, leadership, community impact, and financial need. Bonus: top athletes Jahmar Amos and Travaneek Breakenridge also earned secondary awards—and all scholars must log 40 hours of volunteer work to build character and serve their communities.
