UMW recently received a $75,000 gift from Sally P. Blanchet ’42 to endow a scholarship for students within the College of Business. During her years at Mary Washington, Ms. Blanchet worked hard to pay her own tuition and other expenses through on-campus jobs, including a position as secretary to the dean of freshmen. In 1962, she and her husband founded Freehold Cartage, a successful company in Monmouth, N.J. The new scholarship will be named in memory of Ms. Blanchet’s younger sister, Jean Marie Phillis.

How exciting! Thank you, Ms. Blanchet! Are UMW graduate students within the COB also eligible for this scholarship?
