DORA MCLELLAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Dora McLellan was born in 1935 to a hard working family where both her mom and dad worked in a dress factory to provide for her and her younger brother. Her life wasn't without its struggles but it was very happy. Dora was not a natural student and good grades didn't come easy, but she earned the respect of her teachers by working her tail off and she reveled in the social aspects of the clubs she belonged to and the lifelong friends she made. Even in her teens, she understood that school was about a lot more than getting straight A's... The University of Northern Iowa College of Education is excited to offer the Dora McLellan Memorial Scholarship in Elementary Education.
