Ellen C. Gstalder Memorial Scholarship

Ellen C. Gstalder
About the Scholarship
Since 2006, the MPH program in Public Health Nutrition has bestowed a unique scholarship in memory of Ellen C. Gstalder. Ellen was accepted into our program but, sadly, lost her battle with leukemia in Spring 2004. Ellen is remembered for her vitality, imagination, compassion, and commitment to helping persons who were less advantaged. Her desire was to improve the quality of life for those challenged by socioeconomic adversity or compromised health through restorative nutrition. To honor Ellen, the Ellen C. Gstalder Memorial Scholarship at New York University was created. Ellen’s friends and family would like to inspire and support future leaders in public health nutrition by extending Ellen’s vision to a new generation of MPH students.

Gstalder Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to a first-year MPH student who satisfies rigorous academic requirements and displays a demonstrated goal of promoting nutrition and health to vulnerable, diverse populations through educational outreach and/or research.
