Tom Downing Fellow Explanation
Fewer than 1% of all Ruritans are Tom Downing Fellows, making this a distinctive honor among members. The Tom Downing Fellowship is made with a single, lump sum contribution of $500. The contributor must state when the contribution is made that it is for participation in the Tom Downing Fellowship Program. A unique lapel pin designed in the likeness of Tom Downing will be presented to the contributor or a person designated by the contributor. Once presented, the pin or designation as a Tom Downing Fellow is non-transferable and will be a lasting honor to this individual. All funds for this program are credited to the Tom Downing Fellowship Fund.
