Lero, Stanley J. Memorial Scholarship
The Stanley J. Lero Memorial Scholarship was established in 2016 by the family and friends of Stanley J. Lero to honor and preserve his legacy at The University of Akron College of Engineering.

Lero attended The University of Akron and in 1949 earned his Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering. In 1956, he co-founded Lero and Markwald Engineers in Akron, Ohio, and went on to earn his Professional Engineers License in 1957. Today, the business he co-founded, now known as Lero, Rollence & Moinette Inc., continues to serve its clients utilizing Lero’s founding principle of “Superior Value through Quality Engineering.”
