The Marlington Alumni Association Announces the Alex Hallman Memorial Scholarship
Marlington Alumni Association will honor a late alumnus and wrestling coach with a scholarship established in his name.
The Alex Hallman Memorial Scholarship was created in 2024 by the Hallman family to celebrate and continue Alex Hallman’s legacy.
Hallman was a proud 2005 graduate of Marlington High School, and a four-year letterman on the wrestling team.
He earned an associate’s degree in HVAC from Stark State College, and was lead HVAC technician at Aultman Hospital for 13 years.
In its announcement of the scholarship, Marlington Alumni Association said Hallman was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed camping, riding dirt bikes and supporting his children.
Hallman became part of the Marlington Youth Wrestling program in 2018, working with young athletes and offering unwavering support.
“We rejoice in knowing his legacy will continue to shine, and we will always be proud to say Alex was a Duke,” the Hallman family said in the news release.
Hallman’s wife, Ali, and children Cooper, Ila and Nash established the scholarship that will go to a Marlington senior “who has demonstrated commitment to their education and personal growth.” Rules for the scholarship indicate candidates must maintain a 3.2 or higher grade-point average; plan to pursue a two-year or four-year degree, priority to those seeking an associate of applied science degree; show leadership potential; and be a four-year high school wrestler.
