Scholarships

Jordan Education Foundation administers and awards several scholarships each year. By contributing to the various scholarships, donors have the unique opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of students. Scholarships not only provide financial assistance but also inspire students to reach their full potential and pursue their dreams.

  • JEF Rising Star Scholarship

    Each year, Jordan Education Foundation awards a $2,000 Rising Star Scholarship to one senior from each of the eight high schools. The school principal, in collaboration with their counselors and staff, select a senior student who has overcome significant personal hardship, shown marked improvement in academic success, and has made a commitment to continue their education beyond high school.  Rising Star students are recognized at our Awards Banquet in the spring.
