The Annual GSAT Scholarships

Each year, the Society works in tandem with the Ministry of Education to identify 17 students who excelled in the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) and who have not been awarded other scholarships. In addition, ten (10) children of Jamaica National employees are also selected for scholarships on a similar basis.

These awards are broken down as follows:

• Fourteen (14) parish scholarships, one to each parish
• Three (3) county scholarships, one to each county, (open only to participants in the JN School Savings Programme),
• Ten (10) children of JN employees

GSAT Scholarship Duration: Five Years

School Reports: Parents are required to provide annual school reports to indicate that scholarship recipients maintain a minimum grade average of 70%.  Failure to maintain the grade will result in the suspension of the scholarship for the next academic year. The scholarship, however, will be reinstated the following year if academic performance improves.
