GC Foster Student Cops Scholarship From Tasjay Productions, Label Plans To Assist More High Performing J’can Students
Record label Tasjay Productions says it plans to make more scholarship opportunities available to high performing students at the tertiary level later this year.
The announcement comes on the heels of the label recently awarding a scholarship to GC Foster student, Delon Scott.
Scott, who is already the recipient of the prestigious Arthur Wint scholarship which covers his tuition, was awarded the financial aid by the label to cover other additional living expenses.
According to CEO of Tasjay Productions, James Smith, the additional incentive, which will cover other expenses, including meals would allow Scott to focus on maintaining his exceptional 3.89 GPA and even improving it.
“It’s great to hear a young man getting good grades at the college level because fewer young men are finishing college these days. The foundation is here to support our youth in achieving that goal and so we are happy to help out in any way we can,” Smith explained.
Smith added that the label was committed to giving back to the community, noting that through it philanthropic arm, Tasjay Production Foundation, would be doing more for the development of the nation’s youth.
The label, which is already investing in Jamaica through music with their various released compilations featuring Anthony B, Luciano and others, as well as, singles and an upcoming album from Rad Dixon; says the launch of the Tasjay Production Foundation last year was a dream realized that will help Jamaica in so many ways .
The Tasjay Production Foundation was founded last year based on an idea years ago from trending reggae artiste Rad Dixon who is officially signed to the label.
The recipient Delon Scott also grew up in Dixon’s parish of Manchester.
