Bill Express, a member of the GraceKennedy Financial Group, is rewarding ten university students with free tuition payments following the conclusion of its ‘Higher Learning – School Fee Giveaway’ campaign.

The two-month campaign, which ran from August 1 to September 30, 2023, aimed to alleviate the financial burden on students and their families. Each of the ten winners received up to JM$200,000 towards their tuition fees.

“The campaign demonstrates in a strong way, GraceKennedy Payment Services – Bill Express’ commitment to engage our customers and contribute to Jamaica’s national development” said Sanjiv Badaloo, marketing manager at Bill Express.

To participate in the giveaway, customers simply had to visit any of the over 300 Bill Express retail locations island-wide and pay tuition fees to any of the tertiary institutions listed as Bill Express billers. All tertiary-level tuition payments made during the promotion period were automatically entered into the prize drawing at the end of each month.

The “Higher Learning – School Fee Giveaway” campaign is a testament to Bill Express’ commitment to supporting the education and development of Jamaican youth.
