Serving our Members…Impacting Lives Positively; this is the slogan of the JTA Co-op Credit Union. It is a motto that the organization has been following for nearly two decades and with each passing year the truthfulness of this statement has been proven over and over.  On August 30, 2024, The JTA Co-op Credit Union awarded scholarships, grants and bursaries to three distinct groups of winners to help them start the school year right.

The first group of awardees is our PEP Bursary Awardees. These students are children of members of the Credit Union who performed very well in the recent PEP exams and will be entering high school in September 2024. A total of 39 students will be awarded this year, three from each parish.

First-place PEP Awardees who were present at the awards function. They are flanked by the Credit Union’s General Manager Mr. Robert Ramsay and the Board Treasurer Mr. Cyril Lebert. 

The second group of awardees are two local schools. Roger Clarke High and Edwin Allen High, are winners in our Better Schools…Better Jamaica programme. Roger Clarke High will receive a total of $1m to construct a cosmetology laboratory at their school while Edwin Allen High will receive $500,000 to complete a waste recycling project. Both projects are aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning experiences at the institutions.

 First and second-place winners of the 2024 Better Schools Better Jamaica programme Roger Clarke High and Edwin Allen High receive funding to complete their projects. 

The final group of awardees are members of the Credit Union. These are educators who are members of the Credit Union and are pursuing further studies and have distinguished themselves in their studies as well as the teaching profession.
