I became involved with the Jefferies Family Scholarship because of the tremendous opportunities the Scholarship can open up for its recipients and the additional incentive it provides for the children of Jefferies' employees to work that much harder every day in furthering their educational goals and achieving their full potential.

	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.
