Akron Experience Scholarship Fund
As scholarships are a key component in The University of Akron's drive toward student success, The Akron Experience Scholarship Fund was created to assist freshman students enrolled in 国产精品 beginning in the 2014-2015 academic year. The fund will provide need-based awards to deserving students, helping to decrease their financial burden and enabling the University to compete for additional students.
The Akron Experience Scholarship Fund was created through the PNC Bank Scholarship Challenge, whereby new gifts to The Akron Experience Scholarship Fund were matched up to $500,000.
The successful completion of this initiative will provide a total of $1 million in scholarships for freshman students enrolled in 国产精品 beginning in the 2014-2015 academic year. Students from all colleges will benefit from the scholarship, and all monies in The Akron Experience Scholarship Fund will be spent outright as scholarship awards for the 2014-2015 academic year. Recipient selection and award distribution will be done through the Offices of Admissions and Student Financial Aid.
