Darla MalloryMURRAY, KENTUCKY (June 10) - Darla Mallory of Dresden was awarded an Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation Scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year. Mallory, the daughter of Claude and Donna Mallory, will receive a scholarship as a result of her academic success, volunteer activities and involvement with the Alpha Gamma Delta International Women’s Fraternity at Murray State University.
Mallory is studying Postsecondary Education Administration and anticipates graduating in 2023 with her master’s degree.

Mallory was actively involved in her undergraduate chapter from 2019-2022; she recently went alum from Alpha Gamma Delta and has since continued to stay involved in other professional and community organizations like the Southern Association for College Student Affairs and the Tennessee Teen Institute (sponsored by the Jackson Area Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency).
Scholarships are awarded annually to initiated collegiate and alumnae members of Alpha Gamma Delta for undergraduate and graduate studies. Scholarship applicants must be an undergraduate junior or senior, or a graduate student for the Fall academic term and enrolled full-time in an academic program as conferred by the institution.
