UCC Foundation
Supporting education, research, innovation, community development and transformational opportunities for students and the wider Jamaican society.
Flowing from its Vision, Mission, Transformational Goal and Core Values, the UCC wants to provide support for:
Students and potential students who are doing well academically and are good citizens but need tuition and other educational assistance.
Students who have other needs which are negatively impacting their progress.
Projects that will have a positive impact on Jamaica’s economy, environment and social spheres.
Research that will guide programmes with a positive impact on Jamaica’s economy, environment and social spheres.
Our Impact and Commitment
The UCC has directly supported hundreds of scholarships over the last 10 years including for inmates and officers from Jamaica's Adult Correctional Centres, with Stand Up for Jamaica and the Department of Correctional Services. In addition, as part of its corporate social responsibility and ESG approach, the UCC supports a number of charities and encourages its staff, faculty, students and alumni to do the same.
About the UCC Foundation
The UCC Foundation, US Inc. (UCCF) is to be the main channel through which financial support for UCC activities such as research, innovation, education, community and economic development will be routed. The UCCF was registered in the USA as a not-for-profit corporation in 2005, as a company in Jamaica in 2007 and as a charity in Jamaica in 2018. We are currently restructuring and re-building to better serve UCC students and the wider community. As such, these pages are currently being updated.
