The Ruth G. Wittler Student Scholarship Fund

The scholarship was established in 2000 by the estate of Ruth G. Wittler, PhD, MPH, of Annapolis, Maryland, who received her doctorate degree in 1944, specializing in filterable viruses. Dr. Wittler was a retired microbiologist from Western Reserve University. She was interested in the Chesapeake Bay environment and active in the Bay Ridge Organization and the Ginger Cove Governance Committee. This scholarship supports students working in the laboratory sciences in the W. Harry Feinstone Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.
