Frank E. and Lillian A. Mutter Scholarship Fund
The Frank E. and Lillian A. Mutter Scholarship is one of the largest endowed scholarship programs at Ramapo. The Mutter Scholarships evolved through the efforts of Mr. Arthur Campbell, the Mutters’ attorney and executor of Mr. Mutter’s will. A long-time resident of nearby Ho-Ho-Kus, Mr. Campbell was aware of Ramapo College’s commitment to quality education and convinced Mr. Mutter that he and his wife’s memory would be “well served by supporting students at Ramapo in their endeavors to improve themselves and others through education.” Specifically, Mr. Mutter requested that the fund provide scholarships for “students residing in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, who need financial assistance; but if there are no such needy students, then for students from any other part of Bergen County, New Jersey, who need financial assistance.” The first Mutter Scholarships were awarded in 1991. Thanks to Mr. Campbell’s foresight and Mr. Mutter’s generosity, many Ramapo students receive Mutter Scholarships in any given year.
