First-generation college student Kelan Jones says Quest was there to help after he came to Jackson State to play basketball. “We had each other’s backs,” Jones said. “If someone from the group was having trouble with finances or food, we were there to help. No one was left out.” Jackson State says those interested in the programs can apply on their website. The college says the Quest program is for men, and the Journey program is for women.
