Kerry J. Ballew
The scholarship was endowed in memory of Kay G. Ballew, mother of a Tennessee Technological University technical communications graduate. Funding was provided through cooperative effort between the Ballew family and the TTU student chapter of the Society for Technical Communication, led by Dr. Stephen Stedman.
The scholarship commemorates Mrs. Ballew’s philanthropic spirit and firm commitment to public education, which were evidenced throughout her 25-year tenure as a master teacher in the Tennessee school system. An ardent proponent of quality education for students of all social and economic backgrounds, Mrs. Ballew routinely used her own income to bridge gaps in government funding for her classroom and, often, individual pupils. The scholarship also reflects Mrs. Ballew’s extracurricular interests; she participated on her school newspaper and yearbook staffs throughout her secondary and undergraduate years, and creative writing remained a lifetime hobby. |
