Fresh Studios Scholarship Fund
While working to obtain his undergraduate degree in International Business, Paul Patterson began developing a small business of his own in Akron. With the skills he learned in the classroom at The University of Akron, Mr. Patterson opened the doors of his production studio, Fresh Studios in March 2009.
Fresh Studios has become a safe, alternative environment for neighborhood kids. The message given is one of community respect and giving back. Mr. Patterson is adamant about higher education and has assisted individuals with the completion of college and financial aid applications. As a first-generation college student himself, he recognizes the challenges young adults face without the support from home.
The recipient of the Fresh Studios Scholarship must be enrolled at The University of Akron (part or full-time) and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5. Applicants should provide a narrative explaining the need for financial assistance, or "two good reasons" to be considered. Mr. Patterson will review all scholarship applications and determine the recipient(s).
