Students who attend Prospect College, which was started by Sir Harold Mitchell in 1956, are provided with full scholarships. Sir Harold is a former British parliamentarian.

He came to Jamaica, fell in love with the island and its people, and wanted to make a special contribution to Jamaica’s development through education.

Mitchell’s vision was to inculcate in young men strong discipline, as he saw discipline as a major prerequisite for proper education and development.

As a result of the generosity of Mitchell, parents of students attending Prospect College are not required to make any payments.

The financial stability of Prospect College is not in doubt even after the passing of Mitchell, as his descendants are continuing his philanthropic vision. Mitchell’s son-in-law Peter Green and his grandsons Andrew and Alexander Green now ensure that his vision is kept and enhanced.

Peter Green, Andrew Green and Alexander Green remain fully committed to the college.
