Scholarship Payment

The award is sent directly to the school the recipient will be attending on a semester or term basis. Scholarships will be paid only to educational organizations which normally maintain a regular faculty, curriculum, and enrollment of students at the place where its educational activities are conducted. Such school shall use the scholarship to defray the recipient's basic expenses only so long as the recipient's academic standing at the school is such that the recipient will be allowed to continue in his or her course of study. If the student withdraws for any reason during the school year, the remainder of the funds should be returned to the Jefferies Family Scholarship.

The coordinator only sends payment or reimbursement of expenses when requested to do so. Requests for scholarship payment must be submitted in writing via email, fax, or by post to:

Boyd Jefferies was a very intense, hard-working individual, there was no one that worked longer or harder than him. This organization was very dear to him. It was his way of remembering his son and having others remember him as well. It now serves as a memorial to both Boyd and his son, and is a legacy that we continue with great pride and optimism.
