FOUNDATION
“The ability to award JSF scholarships is so impactful because it allows recipients to be able to focus on their business studies while maximizing their education. But the impact does not stop there. The true purpose of the scholarship program is to build capacity among Indigenous students so they can facilitate economic development, business development, and entrepreneurship in Indigenous communities throughout the country.”
