Gloria J. Ivy Scholarship

She was very active in assisting young people in their pursuit of post-secondary education including enrollment, funding, and employment post-graduation.
Aunt Glo service in higher education influenced KrysSpeaks to attend and complete her degree at one of the most notable Historically Black Colleges & Universities, Tennessee State University where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications.
