What We Support

Flowing from its Vision, Mission, Transformational Goal and Core Values, the UCC wants to provide support for:

Deserving Students

Students and potential students who are doing well academically and are good citizens but need tuition and other educational assistance.

Students in Need

Students who have other needs which are negatively impacting their progress.

Impactful Projects

Projects that will have a positive impact on Jamaica’s economy, environment and social spheres.

Research

Research that will guide programmes with a positive impact on Jamaica’s economy, environment and social spheres.

Our Impact and Commitment

The UCC has directly supported hundreds of scholarships over the last 10 years including for inmates and officers from Jamaica’s Adult Correctional Centres, with Stand Up for Jamaica and the Department of Correctional Services.

In addition, as part of its corporate social responsibility and ESG approach, the UCC supports a number of charities and encourages its staff, faculty, students and alumni to do the same.
