“today I wish to recognize the establishment of the William J. Motto Annual Bioscience Scholarship at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. To commemorate the 35th anniversary of its founding, Meridian Bioscience, Inc., is funding a $5,000 annual scholarship to support a deserving student each year at Cincinnati State. The scholarship is named in honor of Meridian bioscience executive chairman and Founder, William ``Bill'' Motto, who has a passion for creating opportunities for hard-working individuals who wish to improve their lives and our community. Bill Motto founded Meridian in 1977 in the basement of his home, not far from the company's headquarters in Newtown, just outside of Cincinnati. Today, Meridian is a fully integrated life science company that manufactures, markets, and distributes a broad range of diagnostic test kits, purified reagents, and biopharmaceutical enabling technologies. In addition to products used in the early diagnosis and treatment of common medical conditions, Meridian develops and manufactures a variety of biological and nonbiological materials used in proficiency testing programs. The scholarship will be geared toward students majoring in biosciences, as the college prepares to open a new bioscience lab in its Health Professions Building. In addition, the college has expanded its curriculum to help students become lab technicians or to pursue bachelor's or other specialized degrees.…”
