CAMPAIGN FOR THE FUTURE OF JUSTICE

John Jay’s first ever campaign was launched in May of 2012. The Campaign has the ambitious goal of raising $50 million by the College’s 50th anniversary in the academic year 2014-2015. Supporting the Campaign means supporting Fierce Advocates of Justice by:

Supporting Student Success
Building a Strong Faculty
Fostering Innovative Academic Programs
Expanding Campus Facilities and Resources
Enhancing Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving

Scholarship support is a central focus of the Campaign. John Jay has a number of established scholarship and fellowship programs including:

Honors Program
Vera Fellows Program
And many more!

Alumni Endowment
With the support of the John Jay Alumni Association, each year an eligible sophomore is awarded a $4,600 scholarship supported entirely by alumni.

Jay Walk Campaign
The Jay Walk is at the heart of the new campus. A grassy, rooftop plaza and an oasis of green in bustling Manhattan, the Jay Walk adds a breath of fresh air to campus. Alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the College have all helped to pave John Jay’s future by making donations toward bricks, trees and benches in this already beloved space. You can leave your mark on this signature space by donating today.
