LOVE like JJ Scholarship in Memory of Jonathan "JJ" Day
Jonathan "JJ" Day was a beloved son and brother who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of nine years old.
JJ left behind two sisters who have had to learn to travel the journey of life without their brother as they've grown up. They've had to learn how to adjust and adapt to this loss while also living with immense grief at a young age. However, they haven't let this grief stop them from living, and they're leading lives that honor JJ's legacy of love and kindness.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Jonathan "JJ" Day by supporting students who have lost a sibling and are learning to adjust to life in their absence.
Any high school senior or current undergraduate student with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have lost a sibling.
To apply, tell us how your grief has impacted who you are today and how your grief has allowed you to help others or has shaped your career path. Additionally, upload a picture of yourself - ideally with your sibling!
How has navigating your grief over your lost sibling influenced who you are today? Please share how you have either used your grief to help others, or how your grief has shaped what career path you are choosing.
