OFFICES OF BETH A BROWN
Home
The Dr. Beth A. Brown Foundation has been established for the purpose of, but not limited to, providing scholarships to graduating high school seniors who will enter a college or university and major in astronomy or physics.
Dr. Brown was a native of Roanoke VA and was the daughter of Mrs. Frances Brown and late Mr. Robert W. Brown. She was an Astrophysicist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md at the time of her sudden death in October, 2008.
Dr. Brown graduated Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Howard University with a BS degree in Astrophysics. She received her Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Astronomy from the University of Michigan.
The Dr. Beth A. Brown Science Foundation is a non-profit organization and donations are tax-deductible.
The Ring Nebula was a great inspiration for Beth. After she viewed it through a telescope, this intensified her interest in Astronomy. Therefore, it is only befitting that it becomes the logo for the Dr. Beth A. Brown Science Foundation.
