Without the Jefferies Family Scholarship I would have not been able to go to the college of my choice. It was my vehicle to a world-class, private education that gave me the gift of writing, speech, and the continued desire to learn something every day. Your generosity and support during my educational journey will always be remembered and appreciated. Without you, none of this would have been possible. I am eternally grateful!

Kate Giannini, JFS Alumni
