Carol A. Ammon, MBA ‘79, ’10 (Hon.), DNP has created three scholarships that will ensure the Ammon name lives on at Adelphi and directly support students in need of scholarship funds.

  1. The Ruth S. Ammon Scholarship
  2. The Carol Ammon Scholarship
  3. Frederick R. Ammon Social Work Scholarship

I am thrilled by the letters I get from recipients of the scholarships in my mother’s name. It’s enriching to be around these students. The joy I have seeing how my mother’s dream of education can live on has already been demonstrated to me in a short time.
