The Lynda Ellis Women in Business Scholarship was established thanks to the generosity of Lynda Ellis (B.A.S. ’81), herself an outstanding businesswoman and member of the St. Mary’s University Board of Trustees. This scholarship recognizes an outstanding undergraduate woman who has demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, a flair for entrepreneurial thought and action, and a deep commitment to the mission of St. Mary’s University and the Greehey School of Business.
