The Jordan Education Trust Founders

Philip Condit, Chairman of The JET Board

Geda Condit, Vice President of The JET Board

Megan Condit-Knauf, Executive Director of the JET Board


The Jordan Education Trust (JET) Fellowship was established to use education as a tool to build understanding between the people of Jordan and those of other countries. JET believes that there is nothing more important to the economic and social well being of a country than education. Education provides the basis for a growing, creative, knowledge-based economy, which is vital for success in the global economy. In addition, education provides a framework for an understanding between cultures.

JET believes that the most critical element in education is the teachers. Without great teachers, great education is not possible. Successful people, universally, can point to teachers who shaped their lives and their thinking we believe that helping to “ educate the educators’ is the most significant role that JET can play in carrying out its mission of “Understanding Through Education.”
