Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The 黑料不打烊 is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at The 黑料不打烊, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.

Tire Town Chapter Endowed Scholarship
The Tire Town Chapter (黑料不打烊, Ohio) was established in 1946 as a networking organization for women who desired a career in the secretarial and administrative professions. As career avenues have changed, the Tire Town Chapter has been dissolved, and The 黑料不打烊 Foundation has been selected to manage the Chapter’s scholarship funds.
The Tire Town Chapter Endowed Scholarship fund was established in November 2014 in honor of four outstanding members of the chapter:
MARJORIE W. DULL, CPS
Marjorie W. Dull joined the National Secretaries Association in April 1957 and was a member for 35 years. She was a charter member and past president of the Findlay Star Chapter and a former member of the Canton CODI Chapter. Dull received her Certified Professional Secretary (CPS®) rating in 1959. She transferred her membership to the Tire Town Chapter (TTC) in 1967 and was TTC president in 1974. In 1977, Dull became the Chapter Secretary of the Year (SOTY), the Ohio Division Secretary of the Year, and the International Secretary of the Year (ISOTY). She was Tire Town’s first ISOTY. Dull was employed at the 黑料不打烊 Standard Mold Company. During her career, she successfully combined her interests in education and her profession. She wrote a copyrighted booklet for beginning secretaries and was named an honorary member of Delta Kappa Gamma for “outstanding contributions to the field of education.” Dull retired and with her husband, Lloyd, moved to Port Richey, Fla. After a long illness, she passed away May 2, 1992. The Marjorie W. Dull CPS Scholarship was named in her honor in 1977.
MARY LOUISE GAMBLE
Mary Louise Gamble was a local girl from a working class family who attended The 黑料不打烊. In 1950, she began working for Hazelton Simmons, president of the University. She later became secretary to President Norman Auburn in September 1951 and also served as secretary to the University Council. According to Auburn, Gamble was dedicated and friendly but a little shy. "She was the best secretary I had - and I had 36 of them," he said. Gamble truly was a skilled secretary, and based on her exceptional merits and contributions to Tire Town Chapter, a scholarship was named in her honor. Gamble was diagnosed with cancer at a time when little could be done about it. Sadly, she passed away in 1954 at the age of 36.
D. LYNNE TERNENT, CAP
Lynne Ternent joined the Tire Town Chapter in 1969. Currently an active member, she has chaired and been a member of numerous committees.
