Chambers, Samuel M. and Ethel L. Scholarship
The Samuel M. and Ethel L. Chambers Scholarship was established in 2006 by loving son, W. Gary Chambers, and in part by the family residential construction business, Heritage Economic Redevelopment. Gary Chambers is a 1989 graduate of The University of Akron and active alumni. The Chambers Scholarship given in memory of Gary's parents is directed to African-American students in the Construction Engineering program in Summit College. The recipient(s) may be enrolled in either the 2 or 4-year program.
All applicants must complete a short essay explaining what they hope to accomplish in their field and should have a minimum 2.5 high school grade point average and be accepted and enrolled in the Construction Engineering program. Applications are due April 1. Finalists will be interviewed by the scholarship committee, which consists of the chair of the Construction Engineering program and W. Gary Chambers or another designated member of the Chambers family.
