The Beyond St Jude’s Scholarship Program (BSJSP) first started in 2015 to help graduates begin the next stage of their lives, while continuing to develop their leadership potential and community spirit.
It is composed of two parts: a year or semester of community service, then the tertiary or college scholarship program. During community service graduates personify the school’s values by volunteering to teach at understaffed government schools and at various placements throughout St Jude’s. Those who successfully complete their Community Service placement may then be eligible to receive a BSJSP scholarship to pursue higher education.
After completing their higher education, graduates return for the joint Beyond St Jude’s Recognition Ceremony, where they celebrate their achievements alongside fellow alumni, families, and sponsors.
