Why Sponsor a JAG Student Scholarship?

Every year, hundreds of JAG students graduate high school—many as first-generation college students. These young people have overcome barriers, worked hard, and stayed committed to their futures. But for many, the cost of college or career training stands in the way. You can change that.

  • JAG students graduate at a 99% rate and 59% go on to higher education.

  • Your scholarship directly supports motivated students pursuing college, vocational training, or certification programs.

  • You choose the scholarship name, criteria, and focus (e.g., leadership, STEM, trades, community service, etc.).

  • JAG Specialists guide students through the application and selection process to ensure impact and alignment.
