Jordan scholars honored at luncheon

Gerald R. (Jerry) Jordan Jr. ’61, M.B.A. ’67, his wife, Darlene, and sons Gerald ’89, M.B.A. ’94, and Reid ’96, gathered with students on Nov. 17 at the Harvard Faculty Club for the Jordan Scholars Luncheon. Longtime supporters of Harvard College financial aid, the Jordan family established the Gerald Jordan Family Scholarship to ensure that undergraduate students in need of financial support are able to attend the College. The scholarships, first awarded during the 1995-96 academic year, provide much-needed aid, with a preference given to students from the Boston metropolitan area with an interest in athletics or public service. The fund now supports 39 undergraduates each year.
