About
Words cannot describe how grateful I was to have received the Jefferies Family Scholarship. This award definitely lessened the financial burden of college. Without your generous donation, mine and many other students’ dreams of going to the college of their choice would not have been a reality. I knew that Eastern University was the right fit for me from the beginning. It’s great to be so certain early on in the college search, unfortunately, the only thing that made it less appealing was the cost. I didn’t want my family to have to go into debt because of my school choice, so I considered going to a local school, staying home and forgoing the true college experience. Then I received the call that I had gotten the scholarship award; I couldn’t have been happier. It felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because you played a major role in my college experience. The Jefferies Family Scholarship could not have a better name because I truly feel I am a part of this great family.
