Olson, Ruth B. and Irving J. Art Student Reward Fund
The Ruth B. and Irving J. Olson Art Student Reward Fund was established for the purpose of providing financial assistance for students in the Mary Schiller Myers School of Art who are studying graphic design or digital imaging and are working to pay for their University of Akron tuition. Students are required to write a letter of application to receive an award that will be presented at the end of the academic semester upon successful completion of the semester’s work and legal verification of the money earned during the semester. The reward will equal 25 percent of the student’s gross earnings during the preceding semester. Students may reapply for this award. Recipients will be selected by a committee of faculty members in the Myers School of Art. The Olsons will be provided information on the selected recipients.
