Ruth Johnson International Scholarship Fund

This fund was created by Dick Johnson in memory of his wife, Ruth. The Johnsons were Mahwah residents for 20 years. Their son Andrew graduated from Ramapo in 1990 with a degree in Literature, then worked in England as an advertising copywriter. “Starting this scholarship was a way to memorialize Ruth and her appreciation of learning,” Mr. Johnson has said. The award benefits students who participate in a cooperative education experience abroad and the recipient is selected by the director of International Education.
