Matthew Ronald Maher Scholarship Fund
Matthew Ronald Maher was an intern with the Center for Anti-Counterfeiting and Product Protection and a 2017 MSU graduate. Matt was a natural leader, characterized by his positive demeanor and uplifting spirit. He exemplified what it means to be compassionate, hard-working, loyal, trustworthy, and generous. His untimely passing does not diminish the impact he has had on MSU, the A-CAPP Center, and his friends. This scholarship was established by Matt’s friends and colleagues as a tribute to him, and to perpetuate his memory.
The scholarship is awarded a MSU student to work with the Center for one semester on a project relating to anti-counterfeiting and/or brand protection research, outreach or education. At the conclusion of the scholarship, the student will provide a written report and speak to the scholarship’s impact at our annual Brand Protection Strategy Summit.
