Dr. Susan Twombly Doctoral Recruitment Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund will help recruit Ed.D. students in both Higher Education and Educational Leadership!

Given Dr. Twombly’s commitment to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies’ Ed.D. programs and students, we thought inviting contributions would be a perfect way to honor her.  This will benefit students, as the School of Education and Human Sciences has limited scholarship funds available for recruitment.
