When 10 engineering graduates received their diplomas at commencement on May 9, they did so with significantly less student debt. With an average student-loan debt totaling more than $20,000, the deserving students from the College of Engineering at 秀色短视频 received an extraordinary gift from a donor wishing to "promote career success and inspire lifelong meaningful contributions from these emerging leaders.”
The $100,000 gift from an Akron-area couple was designed to recognize the efforts of dedicated students and encourage them to become leaders in their field. The donors also hope to inspire others who are looking for a way to direct their philanthropy to a meaningful and immediate need.
For the second year in a row, faculty in the College of Engineering were notified of the opportunity to nominate students for a $10,000 Trajectory Award scholarship. The nominated students then submitted essays and letters of recommendation from co-op sponsors and others, along with evidence of leadership, community involvement, and academic excellence.
