Washington State University is establishing the Thomas M. Maloney Graduate Scholarship through the Voiland College of Engineering & Architecture.

Maloney, who died June 18 in Pullman, Wash. at age 83, was prominent in the development of many facets of the wood based panel industry, especially composite board, through his long association with WSU as professor of Mechanical & Materials Engineering and director of the Wood Materials & Engineering Lab.

“After consulting with Tom’s family, we all agreed that an endowed scholarship would be a fitting tribute to honor Tom’s commitment to education as we know he would be pleased to help deserving graduate students working in the field of wood composites and engineering,” the university stated.

The university has established a goal of $100,000 for this endowment. All donations will be acknowledged by the WSU Foundation and communicated to the Maloney family.

Any questions or for assistance in making a donation contact Bridget Pilcher at [email protected] or call 509-335-0144. Make checks payable to “WSU Foundation” and note “Maloney Scholarship.” Mail to WSU Foundation, Box 641925, Pullman, WA 99164-1925.
