Hello and Welcome to jpjfoundation.com!
I hope this new year finds you encouraged, hopeful, and surrounded by good health and
peace. As we step into 2026, my prayer is that it brings abundance, strength, and
continued blessings to you and your loved ones. At the JPJ Foundation, our hearts are full
as we look ahead to a spring season dedicated to uplifting the incredible students we
serve.
Because of generous supporters like you, 2025 was another remarkable year. Together,
we awarded more than $14,000 in scholarships to hardworking, deserving students during
our 25th Anniversary celebration! You can meet these inspiring young scholars at
www.jpjfoundation.com.
For 25 years, the JPJ Foundation has been committed to empowering the youth of Murfreesboro, TN—and now all of Rutherford County. Our mission has always been rooted in one purpose: to open doors for graduating minority students by helping them take their first steps into higher education. Each year, based on criteria set by our foundation committee, we award financial support to students who have shown dedication, resilience, and promise. Applications have already been sent to every high school in Murfreesboro and the surrounding Rutherford County area, and we are eager to meet this year’s applicants.
We are thrilled to return in person for our 26th Annual Awards Ceremony on Thursday, April 2, at 7pm CST (location to be announced). This special evening is where we place the funds raised directly into the hands of the students who need them most.
Every dollar donated goes directly to the students. Your support truly changes lives.
