Why Give to JHUAN?

The JHUAN scholarships support Jamaican students at every academic level, from undergraduates to professionals. But we’re more than scholarships. We’re a network, a support system. JHUAN offers mentorship programs, addressing essential topics such as budgeting, establishing credit, and mental well-being, to name a few. Our hands-on Executive Committee, along with dedicated volunteers, ensures that each scholarship recipient gets a one-on-one mentorship tailored to their career interests.
Scholarships That Opens Doors
Since 2018, JHUAN has provided 115 scholarships, totaling $436,000 to deserving students.
The Demand For Financial Aid
The need far exceeds available funds. Over 100 well qualified student applicants were unfunded this year, with an average GPA of 3.7. Imagine the impact - both in Jamaica and the USA, if we could fund just 25 more candidates?
Additional Resources & Support
Donations support not just tuition but mentorship, career development, and essential student resources.

Help Jamaicans at Howard Thrive While Jamaica Rebuilds

Many JHUAN Scholars are first-generation college students or students who just dream of impacting their country and broader diaspora through their degrees. For many, JHUAN – the Jamaica Howard University Affinity Network, provides a source of financial relief, mentorship, and emotional support. Many students refer to members of the organization as family away from home. JHUAN’s work is only possible through the support of donors, mentors, and partners like yourself. Join us in empowering the next generation of Jamaican Leaders at Howard.

JHUAN Corporate Donors

We are grateful for the generous support of individuals, corporations, foundations, our executive members that make our work possible. We hope you’ll consider joining this incredible group.

Support a Jamaican at Howard University

This Giving Tuesday feels different. For many of our Jamaican students at Howard, the WhatsApp messages coming from home are filled with images of blue tarps, broken roofs, and flooded streets after Hurricane Melissa. Families are focused on the essentials – food, water, light, somewhere dry to sleep. And yet, classes continue. Assignments are still due. Tuition balances haven’t gone away.

This is where you and JHUAN come in. When you give to JHUAN, you help a Jamaican student at Howard stay enrolled, stay grounded, and stay connected to a community that looks like home – even while managing concerns about home and family in Jamaica. In the short term, your gift covers tuition gaps, groceries, therapy, or a bus pass. In the long term, you are investing in the engineer, doctor, teacher, lawyer, or creator who will one day give back to Jamaica and to the wider diaspora. Help them stay. Help them finish. Help them build back.

Join us and help shape a brighter tomorrow.
