More than 200 students will receive ACAF support for pursuing higher education and career training.

 

This fall, students from nearly every corner of Allegany County will take the next step toward their educational goals. Some students will attend community colleges; others will enter four-year universities or technical training programs.


Thanks to the generosity of local donors, the Allegany County Area Foundation (ACAF) awarded  $387,240 in scholarships to support these students during the 2026–2027 academic year.


According to Belfast Central School Counselor Teresa Heaney, ACAF's scholarship program has become an essential resource for local students.

I am the founder of J² PRESS, a community-centered news platform dedicated to sharing meaningful stories and fostering local engagement. I launched J² PRESS in honor of my father, James Jones, whose work with Solomon's Words for the Wise reflected a deep commitment to truth, integrity, and community dialogue.

​

Inspired by his legacy, I created J² PRESS as a continuation of that mission—providing a space where important voices are heard and stories that matter are told. My work focuses on building connections, encouraging thoughtful conversation, and supporting the communities I serve.

​

Through J² PRESS, I remain committed to preserving a tradition of honest journalism while creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
