Commemorative The Jefferies Family Scholarship is more than a platform for the pursuit of academic excellence. It is a memorial to Boyd Jefferies, founder of Jefferies and Jefferies Family Scholarship; his beloved son Stephen, for whom he founded the scholarship program; and Alan Herrick, a former JFS recipient and son of Tracy Herrick, a former director of Jefferies who dedicated nearly 25 years to helping build Jefferies. These unique and extraordinary individuals embody the qualities and spirit that are in some way represented in each of its recipients. It is with a mixture of great pride, sadness and gratitude that we remember them.
Boyd L. Jefferies, 1930-2001
Stephen Jefferies, 1953-1981
Alan Herrick, 1971-1995 |

Do not give up in college. It can be stressful, but in the end a bachelor's degree not only puts you ahead but it gives you broader knowledge and a better perspective on life.
Jack Dokuzyan, JFS Alumni
Challenge yourself, use your resources and keep learning in and out of school.
