The Jalen Rose Charitable Fund will award a minimum of three college scholarships totaling $10,000 each to high school seniors residing in the city of Detroit, Michigan, who will begin college in the summer or fall of 2010. Each scholarship check will be payable to the accredited two-year or four-year college that the recipient has chosen to attend – the payment will be broken up into four installments ($2,500 per year) as long as the student remains in good academic standing with the college. To renew the scholarship each year, the student must provide The Jalen Rose Charitable Fund with a grade report at the conclusion of each spring semester along with a one page statement as to how far they have progressed towards their college goal
