JA Scholarship

JA of Central Virginia is looking for high school students who participated in at least one JA program while in high school who can speak about the lessons they learned.

You will be invited to share your story at a JA event the following school year. Not only will you be helping JA teach more students in future years, you will be introduced to JA’s vast network of local employers and receive a $2,500 scholarship upon graduation.

Are you the next JA Student Ambassador?
