Jermaine Jackson Scholarship

Are you between the ages of 16 and 24?

Are you not in Education, Employment or Training?

Do you have the desire to gain a qualification and move on with a career?

If so, you may well qualify for a scholarship with theJermaine Jackson Earthcare International Foundation.

How does it work? The Earthcare International Foundation has teamed up with one of the UK’s leading Distance Learning companies, UK Open Learning, to provide the funding for one deserving young person every 3 months to pursue a course free of charge. The lucky student will be chosen by Jermaine himself based on the application details.

What are the courses available? UK Open Learning has an extensive range of courses to choose from such as Child Care, Health and Fitness, Web Design and a whole lot more. As well as these, we offer IGCSE courses (the same as GCSEs) and A Levels

Will I get a certificate? Yes, if you pass all the assignments or, in the case of IGCSEs and A Levels, you pass the exams. Virtually all our courses are certificated by NCFE, one of the UK’s leading awarding bodies. IGCSE and A Levels are certificated by Edexcel, AQA or University of Cambridge.

What support will I get? When you start the course, you will be given a tutor who will give advice and guidance based on the assignments you send them. All correspondence is by email. As well as that, you will be given a Study Guide which provides invaluable advice about studying.

Will completing the course give me a job? Not in itself but it will prove to any employer or training provider that you haven’t stood still since you last attended school, college or became unemployed. In addition, it will be evidence that you have gained important knowledge in your chosen subject area that you can use if you move on to a vocational qualification.

How do I apply? You should complete the application form stating why you are applying and your current situation. You will need to state why you want the scholarship and the qualification, and how you intend to use it. In addition, you should include the names and contact details of two referees who can comment on your ability and your potential. Family members would not be acceptable as referees, of course.

We will select an applicant every 3 months.
