Meet Jordan Jackson, our 2024 FCU Scholarship recipient. 🖤🏆

JJ is wrapping up his sophomore year at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas majoring in Exercise Science with a minor in Secondary Education. He is a running back on the football team, worked his way to second string as a sophomore, and has his sights set on becoming a physical therapist or occupational therapist with a goal of owning his own all-inclusive fitness gym one day.

In his own words:
“The FCU scholarship helped ease some of the financial stress during my first year. I used the scholarship to help cover the cost of my textbooks, dorm expenses, and some of my out-of-state travel expenses. Being a student-athlete on a partial scholarship means I have ongoing expenses with little time to have a job. The FCU scholarship helped me focus more on my studies and athletic commitments without constantly worrying about how I would afford everything.”

The work JJ is putting in on and off the field is exactly what First Chance U was built to support.

The 2026 FCU Scholarship is still open for San Diego County seniors graduating in 2026. Deadline is Monday, May 4th. Link in bio to apply.
