A recent major contribution of $100,000 from Wichita State University alumnus Britt M. Brown to the WSU Foundation has created the Britt M. Brown Scholarship in Business.
According to a news release from WSU, Brown was inspired to establish the scholarship by his son Ruse, who graduated from Wichita State in 2007 and now works alongside him at UBS Financial Services.
“It’s a gift that demonstrates his passion for business and student education,” said Terre Johnson, WSU Foundation vice president for major gifts.
Brown earned a bachelor’s of business administration degree in 1974 and served on the WSU Foundation Board of Governors (now known as the National Advisory Council) for 12 years.
