Marshall W. Moore

The Marshall W. Moore Scholarship of the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc. was established in 2006, for Salisbury University students. This scholarship was named to honor a founding member of the Salisbury University Foundation who demonstrated an unyielding dedication to this fine institution and its students.

Marshall Moore and other University friends established the SU Foundation in 1973. During his 33 years of service, Moore helped grow the fundraising arm and, with his wife Ruth, supported campus organizations including the May Literacy Lab, Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art and Salisbury Symphony Orchestra. They also supported scholarships and construction of the Alumni House. In addition, Moore served on boards for the Alumni Association, Ward Museum, and SU Real Estate. This annual scholarship honors the Foundation’s longest-serving original member, Mr. Marshall W. Moore, a 1948 graduate of the University. Many fellow board members honored him by donating to the nearly $200,000 scholarship endowment upon his retirement in 2006.
