Dr. Deborah Salmon believed every child deserves the chance to stay in school, pursue their dreams, and find their place in the world, whether that is through sport, music, or both. The DSF Scholarship Program is how we keep that belief alive, starting with the community she called home.
"Every child who stays in school, who picks up a ball or picks up an instrument, who has someone investing in them. That is how you change a community."- In honor of Dr. Deborah Salmon
Stay in School
Supporting students who are committed to their education and in need of financial assistance to continue their academic journey.
Sport or Music for Every Kid
Ensuring no child is left out of organized sport or music due to cost, covering fees, equipment, and participation so every kid has an outlet.
Rooted in Jamaica
Beginning with the community Dr. Salmon came from, investing directly in Jamaican youth in honor of her legacy and values.
About the Program
The Dr. Deborah Salmon Foundation Scholarship Program is being developed to provide direct financial support to young people in Jamaica, the community where Dr. Salmon was raised and where her values of education, perseverance, and community were formed.
The program will prioritize students who demonstrate academic commitment, financial need, and participation or interest in sport or music. We believe that education, athletics, and the arts together build the kind of character that lifts entire communities.
Applications, award amounts, and cycle dates will be announced as the program launches. If you are a student, parent, school, or community organization in Jamaica interested in this scholarship, we encourage you to reach out now.
