UCC SCHOLARSHIPS
Financial Aid
Educational benefits and services to students may be awarded as grants, bursaries, tuition credit, student exchange facilities, discounts, referral programs, sticker benefits, scholarships, waivers, work-and-study programs, or tuition financing partnerships. These benefits may also be awarded as cash payouts. Both new and returning students may receive more than one financial promotion per program.
Scholarships and Awards
In addition to UCC-sponsored scholarships, external scholarship opportunities tenable at UCC are available from institutions such as Ministry of Education Grants and Digicel. UCC makes every effort to inform students about these opportunities via email, website updates, and bulletin board notices across all campuses.
Take a moment to explore the scholarships offered at the University of the Commonwealth (UCC)—this could be your lucky day! Scholarships are open to Jamaican students in any field of study offered locally by UCC. Each scholarship has specific eligibility criteria, and applicants must have received an acceptance letter from the UCC Registrar’s Office before submitting a scholarship application.
