In 1952, Reddick received a Ford science fellowship to study at Cambridge University. She graduated from the Laboratory High School and started majoring in biology at Spelman College in 1929 at the age of 15. She was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi honour societies. She also gained a research grant from the National Science Foundation. Reddick ML (1944). The differentiation of embryo chick medulla in chorioallantoic grafts.
