Schroeder, Harold H. and Pauline F. Endowment Scholarship Fund
The Harold H. and Pauline F. Schroeder Endowment Scholarship Fund was established through a testamentary gift from Harold H. Schroeder, BSEE ’31, and Pauline F. Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder was a close friend of Dr. Norman P. Auburn, who fostered Mr. Schroeder’s interest in ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ. A loyal alumnus, he maintained close association with his alma mater through membership on the National Alumni Board and the University Club.
Mr. Schroeder had a successful career with Bell System companies, including Ohio Bell, Michigan Bell, and AT&T. For his professional achievements, Mr. Schroeder was awarded the Outstanding Alumni Honor Award from the College of Engineering in 1963. Mrs. Schroeder was a former University of Akron Student and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority. After the couple's retirement to Florida, Mrs. Schroeder was an active member of many civic organizations.
The endowed fund is established to provide scholarship support for students in the College of Engineering and the College of Education at ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ and initially will be used for the Scholarships for Excellence Program.
