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! Having the career of one's dream compensates for the struggle and length of time it takes to get there.

| The average total cost for just one year at a private four-year college exceeds $33,000, according to CollegeBoard.com. | |
| For the last two years, forty percent of JFS recipients' parents reported total family incomes under $100,000 and many of our scholarship winners are being raised by single parents. | |
| Nineteen percent of Jefferies' employees make less than $75,000 per year. |
