The Foundation’s Key Areas of Focus
Alumnae
The Foundation aims to strengthen long-term connection with Jersey College Alumnae, creating a sustainable network of support and advocacy for the Jersey College Community, increasing the sense of belonging and connecting the expertise of our ex-students with our current students.
Bursaries
The Foundation strives to substantially increase funding available for bursaries and needs-based financial assistance for students and to enable any student offered a place to be able to accept, irrespective of financial background. It manages and invests bequests from donors to maximise funds available for bursaries.
Creative Minds
The Foundation runs holiday provision during the school holidays offering various STEM and Arts programmes for pupils in Years 1 to 6 across the island.
Immersion Programme
The Foundation is actively involved in recruiting international students for Jersey College, which provides an opportunity for international students to experience life in a Jersey school and our students to learn from other cultures and nationalities. Proceeds from this programme fund bursaries to enable students who would not otherwise be able to afford it to attend Jersey College.
