KINGSTON, Jamaica — Over 100 students from western Jamaica have been assisted with just under $10 million for back-to-school expenses through the Usain Bolt Foundation (UBF).

The students, all of whom were impacted by Hurricane Melissa, are recent Primary Exit Profile (PEP) candidates, entering secondary schools.

The students from the parishes of Trelawny, St James, Hanover, Westmoreland and St Elizabeth, who were successful in their PEP Exams, will receive assistance with school fees and other expenses for the full 2026/27 academic year.
