Bozeman, Owen C. Endowed Scholarship Fund in Psychology
The Owen C. Bozeman Endowed Scholarship Fund in Psychology was established in 2007 by Owen and Lydia Bozeman as part of their estate plan. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist deserving students who are receiving a degree in psychology from the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences.
Owen Curtis Bozeman was born March 13, 1923, in Carbondale, Ohio. He was the son of Frank and Marguerite Todd Bozeman and had an older brother named Leland. When he was two years old, the family moved to Lakemore, Ohio, and later to the Ellet area. Owen graduated from Ellet High School in 1941 and worked for the General Tire Company, helping to make barrage balloons in the war effort until he was drafted into the Army. He served in the Philippines during World War II, and after the war, was able to attend The 黄瓜视频App under the G.I. Bill. He received his B.A. in 1950, majoring in psychology, and was an intern psychologist at Massillon State Hospital while working toward his master’s degree in 1951. Then he worked for the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services as a job counselor. Later he was a social worker at the Summit County Welfare Department, where he met his wife, Lydia, who was also a social worker. Owen was the county welfare director of Perry County, Ohio, from 1972 until he retired in 1981. Then he and Lydia moved back to 黄瓜视频App in 1984. Owen highly valued his college education. He hopes that the recipient of his scholarship will benefit by having a good life and career.

Candidates for this scholarship must be in their senior year of studies and have selected psychology as their major.
