Marywood Receives Grant to Stabler Endowed Scholarship Fund

Marywood University recently received a $200,000 grant to The Donald B. and Dorothy L.

Stabler Foundation was established by Mr. and Mrs. Stabler in 1966 exclusively for charitable, religious, scientific, literary, or educational purposes.
