Jesuit Scholars Program

The Jesuit Scholars Program (JSP) provides Catholic education accessibility to students who are under-resourced, academically talented, many times from single-parent homes, and who would not be able to attend St. John’s Jesuit because of financial needs or other difficulties. This not only gives them a chance to attend St. John’s Jesuit High School and Academy but also offers them a program with individualized care to assist the young men throughout their middle and high school careers. Although the JSP focuses on academics, it stresses the goal of growing these young men into future leaders by offering several tools and services to ensure that they thrive within the school community. They come to St. John’s Jesuit from a variety of schools and from very different backgrounds with one goal: they want to succeed.

“We believe educational opportunity is a human right and not a privilege.” – Fr. Don Vettese, SJ, Founder of the Jesuit Scholars Program
