Milton M., Ph.D. & Granville C. Gittens EOF Scholarship

“Milt Gittens was a kind and supportive colleague and a tremendous role model to minority students and all who knew him,” says Professor Constance Crawford. Milton Gittens, Ph.D joined the Ramapo College faculty in 1973 and served as convener of the Management concentration of the Business Administration major for a number of years.

In 2004 Dr. Gittens received the Friends of the Educational Opportunity Fund Award. The year before, he was inducted into the Ramapo College Chapter of Delta Mu Delta National Honor Society for Business Administration.

Dr. Gittens created two endowed scholarships at Ramapo College through bequests left in his will. Both awards are intended to recognize students who are “descendants of slavery in the United States or Barbados in the West Indies.” This award is specifically for students registered with the Educational Opportunity Fund who “are from low-income communities.” The award is named for Dr. Gittens and his father, Granville Caldecott Gittens.
