Welcome to the Harold Jackson Scholarship


harold at playThe Harold Jackson Scholarship would like to announce Chantelle LaNette O’Kelly and John Jamison as recipients of the 2011 Harold Jackson Scholarship Awards.  Both students were presented with a $1,000 check. They join last year's winners Richard Tull, Jr. and Yuri Hodges.

These young people wrote essays that exemplified the values of play that are central to the goals of the Harold Jackson Scholarship: Celebrating how play and games impact us educationally.

Chantelle LaNette O’Kelly attends Allen University and John Jamison is a student at Virginia Union University. We congratulate them both and wish them much success on their next educational journeys. Click here to see the winning essays.

We would also like to publicly thank and acknowledge the judges who reviewed and scored the applications which were received this year:  Zita O'Reilly, Dana Robinson  and Frieda Williams.


The Harold Jackson Scholarship provides scholarship awards to support Philadelphia public high school students in their pursuit of higher education. Jackson, who passed away in May of 2009 was a veteran Philadelphia school teacher. With his passing, we lost a person who made us smile, laugh and think. This scholarship honors his memory.


New applications available Spring 2012!
