Jackson County Community Outreach is very proud to announce that we will be awarding scholarships to students in Jackson County in 2024!

These scholarships are awarded, exclusively, to seniors who attend high schools in any of the three school systems in Jackson County. The breakdown of scholarships is listed below:

JCCO TRADITIONAL Scholarship ($1000 each) – students at each high school have the opportunity to receive this scholarship, provided that they meet the criteria, through the application and interview process.

JCCO TECHNICAL Scholarship ($2000 each) – To qualify for consideration for the Technical Scholarship, the applicant must commit to an associate’s degree or 18-month diploma, and choose among high-demand pathways such as robotics, robotic welding, industrial maintenance, mechatronics, engineering, machine tool technology, logistics & supply chain management, medical assisting, health management technology, operations management, drafting technology, construction management, and cybersecurity.

TOM LEWIS LEADERSHIP Scholarship ($1500) – One student will receive this scholarship by meeting the criteria for the JCCO scholarship, and showing evidence of leadership in school, community, and or church activities.

JIM SCOTT VISIONARY Scholarship ($2500) – One student will receive this scholarship by meeting the criteria for the JCCO scholarship, and showing evidence of leadership and service to others (volunteering, community service) through school, community, and or church activities.

**Please note that the JCCO scholarships are to be divided among the four high schools (based on student qualification). The JCCO Technical-Industrial, Tom Lewis Leadership, and Jim Scott Visionary scholarships will be awarded to the most highly qualified applicants, regardless of the high school in which they are enrolled.
