The Jonathan Club Scholarship Fund has been providing annual scholarship awards since its inception and first scholarship awards given in the fall 2013. Over 50 JCSF scholarships have been awarded, with contributions by Jonathans of over $5 million. Recipients have used the scholarships towards tuition, books, and for post-high school education including trade schools, community college, universities. Qualifying recipients include employees, spouses, children, and grandchildren.

Currently, over 27 scholars have graduated and are now pursuing careers in teaching, pharmacy, engineering, business, and other areas. We track their education and post-education pursuits and provide spotlights on graduates in Jonathan Club magazine articles throughout the year. The JCSF is managed by volunteers - members and some nonmembers. JCSF incurs limited expenses only for legal and tax services, mailings, and supplies.

With the ongoing success of the scholars and the generous support of Jonathans, the JCSF is another example of why our Club stands out as one of the most distinctive clubs in the world. Additionally, several other social and golf clubs are now looking to Jonathan Club for information and assistance in developing their own scholarship programs.
