Bequests for Scholarships

Tom and his wife established two bequest expectancies. The Thomas and Charlotte Ann Elleman Endowment in Nuclear Engineering will fund research, equipment, student support at undergraduate or graduate level, and other needs at the discretion of the department. The Charlotte Ann and Thomas Elleman Endowment for Communications Scholarships at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences will provide funds for students in speech language pathology, undergraduate communication majors in the Honors program who are planning to attend graduate school, and graduate students in communications as well. It will also fund student research and travel stipends.
"Setting up funds like we have is a way of paying back and returning support we have received and of an obligation to making this country work," Tom explained. "It's an expression of hope that we have in our future."
