Justamere Foundation Scholarship

Justamere Foundation Scholarship

The Justamere Foundation believes that small solutions can result in enormous change. By supporting education and breaking down barriers to self-sufficiency, the foundation helps hardworking individuals find pathways to family-sustaining incomes and long-term success.

Through the Justamere Foundation Scholarship, the foundation aims to reduce financial obstacles and open doors for P.I.T. students pursuing higher education. By investing in education, the foundation seeks to empower students to overcome challenges—big and small—and build a brighter, self-reliant future. We believe that if you can make a difference, you should.

The award is intended to ease the financial burden of education while encouraging students to continue their progress toward independence and success.
