THIRTY-FOUR of Jamaica’s top-performing students have received a total of more than $14 million in academic support through the 26th annual Burger King National Scholarship Programme.

The scholarships — granted by Restaurant Associates Limited, franchise holders of Burger King in Jamaica — provides funding to students who sat the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) exam this year and are entering secondary schools, as well as students heading into accredited local universities.

Beyond standard academic excellence, the initiative also champions holistic development, awarding student-athletes and creative minds pursuing the arts.
