We Invite You to the 2021 Virtual Champions of Justice on Tuesday, May 11 at 6:00 PM
The 2021 Virtual Champions of Justice event is an opportunity to thank our scholarship donors, celebrate our student recipients, and highlight the importance of scholarships for John Jay Students. This year’s event will include a 30-minute pre-recorded virtual program, followed by Zoom networking for scholarship recipients and donors.
Due to the pandemic, more of our students need assistance to graduate on time. Each additional gift raised by the 2021 Virtual Champions of Justice helps our students during a time when they need it the most. Please consider making a gift to support scholarships to our Scholarship Fund. Your support and generosity uplifts our students, and allows them to thrive academically, emotionally, and professionally.
