The Joan Duncan Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Jamaica Money Market Brokers Group, will award more than $1 million in new scholarships for the new academic year, following the opening of its scholarship application process - March 1 to May 30.

Scholarships are available to individuals pursuing studies at the secondary and tertiary level and showing evidence of their involvement in school or community activities or a service club, coupled with verifiable financial need and demonstration of high academic performance. These new awards will supplement the more than 20 scholarships totalling more than $3 million awarded by the Joan Duncan Foundation for the 2014-15 academic year to students islandwide.

Scholarship recipients are invited to participate in transformational leadership training organised by the foundation.
