Scholarship Opportunities

The scholarship applications are now open as of September 10, 2025, for any student who has participated in any JA programming, past or present.

Financial awards are available for graduating seniors pursuing:

- Entry into the workforce

- Trade schools

- 2- or 4-year higher education institutions

Application deadline: Tuesday, February 17, 2026, by 4:00 PM EST

Next steps:

- Finalists will be contacted via email in mid-March and asked to schedule an interview.

- Awards will be announced in Spring 2026.

Please share this information with all graduating seniors. Students do not need to be currently participating in a JA Program; any past participation qualifies.
