Rogers, June Thomas International Student Fund
The June Thomas Rogers International Student Fund was established in 1995 for the purpose of 1) encouraging new international students to pursue degree studies at The University of Akron and 2) rewarding continuing international students. All international students who make first-time applications to The University of Akron for undergraduate degree studies and who demonstrate interest in the scholarship will be considered for the scholarships. However, preference will be given to students who demonstrate the following criteria: commitment to returning to the home country and using knowledge gained at °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ for the development of the home country, the chosen field of study is underrepresented within international students, gender is underrepresented among °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ international students, and student's potential for disseminating knowledge to a wide audience upon return to the home country.
International students already pursuing undergraduate degree studies at The University of Akron can apply for an outstanding international student scholarship. These scholarships will be awarded on the basis of the students' work in building "bridges" between U.S. and international students on the °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ campus, achievement of academic excellence, and need, as well as the criteria listed above for new international student scholarships.
