This scholarship is in conjunction with the Arlington School Foundation and its efforts to improve the educational excellence of the Arlington Local School in Arlington, Ohio.

The Dally Family Scholarship was established to support tuition costs for students graduating from Arlington High School. The Dally family members have a long history of attending Arlington High School.

While Lisa Crawfis Bennett attended only a portion of her elementary school years at Arlington, both her mother, Ann M. Hershey, and her grandmother, Marie M. Dally, graduated from Arlington High School. Marie’s husband, James Robert Dally (deceased in 1990), also graduated from Arlington High School along with his brother Hale Isaac Dally II. Marie and James owned and operated the Dally Funeral Home located in Arlington for well over 50 years. The business passed to the couple from James’s parents, H.I. Dally I. The Dally Family has deep roots in the Arlington community and expressed a desire to assist students for generations to come. This fund was established through efforts of the Arlington School Foundation.
