Current Scholarships

Established in 2015, the JUFA Alumni Scholarship Fund allows alumni to contribute to a sustainable, recurring, merit-based scholarship for students worldwide. The future JUFA Alumni Scholarship will be awarded out of interest accrued on the fund, to ensure its sustainability. The fund aims to raise US$100,000 by 2020.
The Jacobs University Foundation of America is committed to high-quality international education for all, regardless of nationality or financial status. Thus in 2015, we established the JUFA Alumni Scholarship Fund, to give hard-working students access to a Jacobs’ education. The Fund follows an endowment model, meaning that no scholarships or rewards will be paid out of the principal of the endowment, but instead from the interest paid on the endowment. This is important because it is ensures the fund will be sustainable in perpetuity. The first scholarship awarded in 2017 is the Ronny Wells Scholarship. Click here for more information. |
