Psychology
The Ryan A. Hartranft Fellowship in Psychology is a merit scholarship for students pursuing a
graduate degree in Psychology. The scholarship was created by Ryan’s family and friends to honor the
memory of Ryan, a smart, funny, loving, and caring young man with a very kind and giving heart. He
always had the desire to help anyone he could, in any way, whether he knew them or not. Ryan lost the
battle against substance abuse on January 12, 2014. The donors’ hope is that the recipient of this award
will also want to make a difference in the lives of those that struggle with substance abuse.
