Bernstein, Martha Endowed Scholarship
In gratitude and appreciation for her encouragement and helpfulness during an unstinting two years of service as a reader, Charles Walker, blind Akron insurance agent with undergraduate (1979) and graduate (1980) degrees from The University of Akron, established The Martha Bernstein Endowed Scholarship in 1981 in honor of Martha Bernstein, also of Akron, who graduated from the University with honors in 1979. The endowed fund, when activated in 1990, will provide $400 annually for an undergraduate female student majoring in English with a 3.25 GPA or better and who is, or is planning to be, a voluntary assistant to a handicapped college student.
