sales for Prime Line. “PPEF has a very
clear mission and I am happy to be able to
help spread that mission throughout the
industry, and tap into the relationships I
have built over the years to raise money
for the foundation. It is amazing to me
how much money has been raised since
the foundation was formed back in 1978.”
Shulman affirms Dugan’s assessment
of the industry’s generosity. “People like
giving back. They just have to be asked.
This industry has given so much to so
many, so it is easy to support a foundation
with a clear focus. The donations help
to develop the growth of an individual
who may choose this industry for a
career, so it is like planting seeds that will
continue to grow for years to come.”
Shulman says she hopes the industry
will learn more about the various ways
PPEF can be supported, such as through
the Century Club, or an honorary or
memorial gift. “It does not require large
donations, and everyone has someone
or something they would like to honor
that has happened in their lifetime.”
PPEF annually awards both one-time
and recurring scholarships. One-time
awards include the Chairman’s Scholarship,
a $5,000 award disbursed over two years,
and named scholarships, which are $1,000
awards. PPEF’s one-year scholarships
provide recipients with either $1,000
(merit-based) or $2,000 (need-based)
awards, and the foundation’s four-year
scholarships award $4,000 (merit-based)
or $8,000 (need-based) over four years.

“Thank you for awarding me the Jayne
Emoff Miller Scholarship for 2016.
As mentioned in my resume, I was
selected as one of 14 students to be
part of the International Business
and Chinese Enterprise track at
the University of South Carolina.
I am currently studying Global
Supply Chain and Operations at the
Chinese University of Hong Kong.
I will be here for 15 months and
during the rst three months I study
Mandarin for six hours per day. I am
very lucky to have this opportunity.
Thank you for your generosity.”

importance to me because it pertains
speci cally to my career. It congratulates
the work that I and my family have
dedicated our lives to thus far, and
it strives to continue the success of

It is an honor to receive this award. Your
