The UCLA Faculty Women's Club proudly announces its 2009-2010 scholarship awards to eleven exceptional UCLA students who were honored at the February 2, 2010 FWC Scholarship Dinner. 

♦  The Gertrude T. Huberty Warren Memorial Scholarship    

     This scholarship was established in memory of Dr. Gertrude Huberty Warren, FWC President 1949-50.  Under her leadership, FWC created the first UCLA Employee Directory that was later adopted as a UCLA publication.  Dr. Huberty, along with Dr. Donald MacKinnon, founded the first UCLA Student Health Department where she served for more than 28 years as the Assistant Director and Professor of Clinical Medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine.  The scholarship honors students studying to enter the medical field as researchers or physicians.    

     This year, the Gertrude T. Huberty Warren Memorial Scholarship was awarded to a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in the Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program, researching therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease.
