Lee W. & Rosemary A. Jordan Scholarship Endowment Fund

Established 1983

Rosemary A. & Lee W. Jordan
Rosemary A. & Lee W. Jordan

Lee W. Jordan (1926-1984) and Rosemary A. Jordan, lifelong residents of Aurora, attended East Aurora High School.

Mr. Jordan was employed by Railway Express Agency and was in the trucking business until his death.

Mrs. Jordan was employed as a secretary at C.M. Bardwell School in Aurora for many years.

The Jordans were active members of St. John United Church of Christ.

This fund was created in 1983 by the couple’s seven children in loving honor of their parents.  It was established as an endowment in 1990.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.
