EXECUTIVE CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGEThe University of the Commonwealth Caribbean Foundation (UCCF) represents a beacon of hope for students in need, with an abiding desire to build upon their inherent potential, whether by means of enhancing their education or their competencies. Since 2007, the UCCF has worked with generous donors at home in Jamaica and abroad, to provide impactful scholarships to needy young people and to assist them in transforming their lives, while cumulatively beginning to contribute, over time, to Jamaica's economic development.
