History
This scholarship fund was founded from a donation by John Q. Jordan, Edward (Pinkey) H. Jordan, and Carol Jordan Green in honor of their parents Arletecy Cameron Jordan and Clarence Edward Jordan. Clarence was a birthright Quaker and his wife Arletecy devoted the majority of her free time to Deep River Friends Meeting, especially to the children. This family values education greatly, and are glad to have founded a way to sustainably support their community through education assistance. The family receives notification of every scholarship recipient, and a family member is represented on the committee. Through the years, the fund has gained support from much of the congregation. A few other special families and organizations have also set up funds that contribute to the scholarship monies: Bea Smith, the Gordons, Technical School, and Brigham Camp Fund.
