About The Annette and Morris Mintz Family

In the early 20th Century Annette and Morris Mintz moved to the United States from Eastern Europe. They gave birth to four sons, two of whom attended University of Maryland at College Park. Annette and Morris had six grandchildren, one of whom attended University of Maryland and all of whom live in Maryland. Today the family includes lawyers, a former elected official, a doctor, a dentist, successful entrepreneurs, an Emmy-winning documentary maker, pharmacists and a renowned visual artist – each leaders in their respective fields – and 13 great-grandchildren.

Now the Mintzes – including UMCP alums Melvin (‘67), Doug (’95) Hillary (’97), Sylvan (‘63) and Rina (’66), as well as Lee, Martin (UMAB Pharmacy School ‘65), Judy, Paul and Mary – want to give back to the University and the state ensuring that other first-generation college students have increased opportunities to attend Maryland and thrive as leaders here, like the members of the Mintz family have in their chosen fields.

About The Fund

In memory of their parents and grandparents, the Mintz family established the Annette and Morris Mintz Family Scholarship in September 2012 to support students who are first generation U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens.
