Mandy Vandiver from Windsor School District was awarded the first $1000.00 scholarship from Jefferson County Retired Educators. The scholarship is available to ANY Jefferson County student who graduated from ANY Jefferson County School. They MUST be enrolled in education and be a Junior or Senior in college. Students can pick up applications from UMSL, MOBAP, SEMO or Lindenwood. Applications are available at the UMSL and MOBAP offices at JEFFCO or you can write to Teri DeSmet, 16600 Willow Glen Dr, Wildwood, MO 63040. The scholarship applications are read in May of each year. Mandy, her father and her high school Superintendent were invited to a JCREA luncheon in May where her $1000.00 scholarship was presented. Congratulations to Mandy.
