Purnell, Janet B. and W. Howard Fort Scholarship Fund
The Janet B. Purnell and W. Howard Fort Scholarship Fund was created by The University of Akron Board of Trustees at the board’s meeting June 24, 1987, in recognition of the faithful and devoted service of board members Janet B. Purnell and W. Howard Fort. The scholarships will be awarded to talented undergraduate black students having a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA. The assistance may be renewed annually. Selection of the recipients will be made by a committee composed of representatives from the minority affairs office, financial aid office, and academic affairs.
