KDF LAUNCHES CARIBBEAN HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
June/July 2022 - The Karen Dale Foundation completed the soft-launch of its Caribbean High School Scholarship Program to provide support through academic scholarships and mentorship, for high performing Primary School students who need assistance to get to and complete High School.
​
The program is currently open to graduating St. Ann's Bay Primary School students who are planning to attend High School in the academic year following their graduation.
The inaugural group of scholars were announced during an Award Ceremony held by the St. Ann's Bay Primary School in St. Ann's Bay, St. Ann, Jamaica, on July 15, 2022. Our Founder and President was on-hand to make the announcement in person.
