Firestone Trust Fund Strive Toward Excellence Program
Established in 1987 through a gift of $3 million, The Firestone Trust Fund Strive Toward Excellence Program is designed to help minority and economically disadvantaged students succeed in college, to guarantee admission to The University of Akron upon successful completion of STEP, and to receive tuition scholarships at the University. This far-reaching academic, scholarship, and admission program was made possible by a grant from The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company through The Firestone Trust Fund.
