Fam. J.Jakobsons foundation
Fam J. Jakobsons foundation was formed to encourage young people to initiate and implement entrepreneurial projects. The foundation also aims to support research and development in the field of economic history, history of humanity, development and/or investment.
Every other year a scholarship is awarded to one or several high school students who have created a company or a project, engaging others. The initiative can be both social and commercial in nature. The foundation thus encourages both profit focused and social enterprises and projects, for instance aimed at preventing school vandalism or fostering cultural diversity. Irrespective of focus; it is the industry, engagement and creativity of the student that is rewarded.
