The Jerry Prince EAST Student Scholarship, named in honor of EAST's Vice President of IT, Jerry Prince, is presented to an outstanding student who, like Prince himself, has taken full advantage of the opportunities provided by EAST.
"I love EAST because it gives time in a classroom environment where time is precious. It can be life-changing, but only life-changing with investment. Doors opened for me in EAST just like I see doors opening for our students. I love EAST because it works - in a student's third year in school or a staff member 20 years in."
