Memorial Scholarship at Davidson College
Tom's older brother, John Wilson, set up a scholarship in his name at Davidson and added to it over the years. A Davidson classmate whom Tom had befriended become an Executive in a large corporation and later (about 2000) gave a substantial addition to Tomas B. Moore Scholarship, taking it over the $50,000 mark and allowing it to be a Named Scholarship. In 2010 its value was about $90,000 and John's name joined Tom's and it is now listed as the Thomas B. and John W. Moore Scholarship. John has designated in his will that his cottage at Emerald Isle, NC, be donated to Davidson College for this Scholarship.
