My son and daughter were both beneficiaries of the Jefferies Family Scholarship throughout private high schools and universities. They both received an excellent education and have found jobs they love. The gift of higher education from the universities of their choosing would not have been a possibility without the assistance of the program. As a single working mother, my children and I will be forever grateful.
