NEREA SCHOLARSHIP FUND
2009 NEREA Scholarship Donors
For the academic year 2009, the NEREA Scholarship Fund awarded thirteen $2,000.00 and one $1,000.00 scholarships to children and grandchildren of NEREA retiree members and Navy Exchange Associates. The scholarship money, $27,000.00, would not have been possible without the generosity of many NERA members, the NEREA Association, NEREA Chapters, the Hampton Roads American Logistics Association (HRALA) and the Dan Daniel Golf Tournament. A most sincere THANK YOU to all.

NEREA Scholarship – update from a past recipient:
December 23, 2009
Dear Mr. Horey:
Thank you for the opportunity to present my academic accomplishments to the men and women who generously funded the NEREA scholarship. I have benefited not only by the financial assistance, but also by the honor of being chosen as a recipient. I have proudly included this accolade on every application since receiving the award. I completed my undergraduate education with a B.S. in Finance from the University of Virginia's McIntyre School of Commerce in May 2005. I continued my education, graduating from the University of Virginia's School of Law in May 2008. I am a member of the New York Bar, and am employed with the firm Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.
Please accept this contribution to the scholarship fund. I hope the NEREA will be able to continue to offer this award to future applicants.
Sincerely,
Jillian Owens
