Union Of Jamaican Alumni Associations USA Inc. hasn't added a story.
The Union of Jamaican Alumni Associations (USA) Inc. proudly announces its first ever fundraising campaign “Cash for High School Graduates”. For the 26th consecutive year the Union of Jamaican Alumni Associations (USA) Inc. (UJAA) is recognizing US high school graduates of Jamaican lineage. In 2015 we awarded cash prizes to over 25 graduates at our award ceremony in Brooklyn. We expect to have at least 50 graduates in 2016.
UJAA is an umbrella organization of 40 alumni associations of basic, primary, secondary and tertiary schools in Jamaica. As a non-profit organization, our High School Graduate Awards Program is a commitment to touch the lives of as many graduates as possible with cash awards to send them off to college. We want them to know that UJAA stands behind their educational dreams.
Because of the recent far-sighted generosity of a few local businesses that have pledged donations, this has brought our High School Graduate Awards Program funds total to $3000. We now have the opportunity to begin making a financial impact for some students. Many families in our current economic times are struggling to pay for college. This is our chance to make a difference in our community. The goal of this campaign is to increase the total balance of our High School Graduate Award funds from $3000 to $10,000 by June 25, 2016.
100% of the funds go directly into the High School Graduate Award Program fund and can be used only for cash award for students from Jamaican lineage. If you’ve ever thought about contributing to the community now is your chance to encourage our best and brightest students.
