Commemorative The Jefferies Family Scholarship is more than a platform for the pursuit of academic excellence. It is a memorial to: Boyd Jefferies, founder of Jefferies and the Jefferies Family Scholarship Program; his beloved son Stephen, for whom Boyd founded the scholarship program; Alan Herrick, a former JFS recipient and son of Tracy Herrick, a former board member of Jefferies who dedicated nearly 25 years to helping build the firm; and Larry Lindenmeier, a model employee of the operations department for over 35 years. These unique and extraordinary individuals embody the qualities and spirit that are in some way represented in each of its recipients. It is with a mixture of great pride, sadness and gratitude that we remember them.

Stephen Jefferies, 1953-1981
Alan Herrick, 1971-1995

After serving on the original scholarship board, I was honored and privileged when asked to rejoin in 2005, because of my love and respect for Boyd and Sharon Jefferies, and for the Firm.
Barry Taylor, Former Director, Jefferies Family Scholarship
What possible words can I offer to show my immense gratitude for the gifts that you have given me? As the years go by, my dreams are no longer as distant as they once were, as I now find my dreams within my grasp.
Vanessa Evangelista, JFS Alumni
