About the Scholarships

Tim and Sue Mowbray Scholarship  

Tim and Sue Mowbray established this scholarship in 2017 because they have witnessed the positive effect that can come from education. Tim received his Psychology B.A. and Master’s of Social Work degrees from UMD, and Sue worked in the college as a support staff in both departments during her 24 years of service at UMD. It is their hope that this scholarship helps students find success in school and their ability to succeed in the human service professions.
