About This Program
Jacob's Ladder provides scholarships to youth who have participated in Jacob's Ladder programs and are continuing their education. The goal is to reward, recognize, and encourage young people as they take the next step toward their future.
The scholarship program is primarily for Jacob's Ladder participants who stay connected to the organization and continue into college, trade school, technical school, or another form of further education. Scholarships are currently awarded once per year, typically around the end of the year.
Success Vision:
Students complete their education, establish their career, and eventually return as mentors and examples for the next generation.
Jacob's Ladder works closely with schools, agencies, businesses, churches, volunteers, and community partners to respond to real needs and connect people to resources throughout the year.

Program Goals
The goal is for youth to continue their education, complete their program, establish themselves in a career or trade, and eventually come back as mentors or examples for the next generation that Jacob's Ladder serves.
Why Scholarships Matter
Scholarships help reduce financial barriers while showing young people that their progress is seen and supported. For many youth, the knowledge that someone believes in them is just as valuable as the financial support itself.
