Scholarship Program

Education for Those in Need

The Scholarship initiative is intended to help students, who attend school in Jamaica, realize their potential and to positively impact their communities. Since its reorganization in 2010, recipients increased from 17 to 242 in 2020.  In those 10 years we have given 886 scholarships totaling payments of $992,000.    Each student has a Tryall employee sponsor who helps with tracking and accountability.

Beginning in 2019 we were fortunate to award the Wilson and Jean Tirey Sexton Scholarship to an outstanding scholar attending University. This will be awarded on an annual basis.

In 2020 we had 314 qualified students who  submitted applications directly to the committee on-line. A committee of 18 Tryall Club members and supporters  reviewed all applications and selected the  successful recipients who were  announced  July 2020.
