All students deserve recognition for their achievements, and with the rising costs of tuition and an increasingly competitive academic environment, it is vital that they receive the support and encouragement they need. I am proud to be part of an organization that provides sizable scholarships for students that demonstrate academic excellence and financial need through educational scholarship, as well as recognizes outstanding achievement in and of itself with the Jefferies Award of Merit.
