We are currently in the third season of the 4 Seasons of College Application: Scholarships!

Jackson Community Foundation Scholarships - 1 application can apply students for up to 5 scholarships of various amounts - opens December 1, 2023

John George Loan - up to $6,000 with 2% interest rate (note: even though this is a loan we still talk about it with the students) - opens October 1, 2023
Additional scholarship resources:

College and Career Access Center Monthly Scholarship List - updated monthly - available on our website: https://www.jcisd.org/domain/255

Please note that your student’s FAFSA must be completed in order to complete the Jackson Community Foundation scholarship applications and most other scholarship applications. While the current date of when the FAFSA will be open has not been announced, it should be opening in December.
