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.
