Description
The University of Akron Scholarship is funded by the Association for Iron and Steel Technology Foundation through the AIST Northeastern Ohio Member Chapter scholarship program. It provides educational support for an engineering or metallurgy student at the University of Akron, rather than funding a research project.
The scholarship is part of AIST’s regional member chapter network, whose 22 chapters collectively issue more than 43 scholarships annually to qualified individuals within their regions. The Northeastern Ohio program considers academic achievement, extracurricular activities, planned study, and an applicant’s essay. Its selection criteria address eligible high school seniors and give preference to engineering applicants. Awards are made without regard to financial need.
