I throw out an easy challenge.

It sounds so simple, but it’s kinda complex. 

It’s just, “Be good. Do good.”

Congratulations to the 2024 scholarship winners!

In May 2024, two new Dr. Doran Scholars were selected.

Colin Healy (left) will be majoring in business and management at Towson University where he hopes he can, “become the best version” of himself after a challenging adolescence and one day achieve financial independence.

Calub Tamon (right), a first-generation US citizen from a Cameroon family, is studying Computer Engineering at Howard University.  At Wootton, he enthusiastically pursued STEM courses and did research on the use of nanobots on chemical spills.


Our Mission

The Dr. Michael J. Doran Scholarship, Inc. was established by his family in April 2016 for the benefit of Thomas S. Wootton High School students attending college upon graduation.  

Scholarships provide financial assistance to graduates of Wootton in Rockville, Maryland whose parents were not able to go college, as well as students with particularly compelling circumstances.   

Since May 2016, with input from school administrators and the PTSA, the Doran family have awarded scholarships to select students from Wootton’s graduating class who embody the ideals of Dr. Doran. Click here to learn more.
