JCCA Scholarship Program
The Jackson Commercial Contractors Association supports education and our youth. We feel it is important to encourage and assist students interested in a career in the commercial construction trades. Each year, JCCA awards scholarships to Jackson area graduating seniors pursuing post-secondary education and training in the industry.
Thanks for keeping the interest in the trades alive!
The JCCA would like to thank the following partners who are helping our scholarship recipients learn about what tools they may need and set up accounts for the students to purchase those tools.

The CCAC introduced the Kids2College (K2C) initiative in 2014. Kids2College is a free program for 8th graders, funded by the Sallie Mae Fund. It includes in-class sessions that teach the importance of education after high school in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Students also get materials to take home to discuss with their families. At the end of the program, students have the opportunity to visit a local college, helping to build a 'college-going culture.' The program is managed by the CCAC and supported by the Cradle 2 Career Network.
