Also, this year we were able to award standout students as designated scholars: the Harvey Glance Memorial Scholar and Alvin Jordan Scholar. These students exemplify the drive, desire, and academic achievement of the foundation's vision. Please join me in welcoming these young people to the Brian Jordan Foundation family.
