This scholarship is made possible through the JLS International Vocational Scholarship Endowment Fund, established in partnership with Jeffery L. Smith, President of JLS International, who has generously committed to funding the endowment with a goal of reaching $1 million. Currently the endowment fund is at $750,000 and growing.
