Gower II, Thomas L. Endowed Scholarship
Thomas L. Gower II established The Thomas L. Gower II Endowed Scholarship in October 2023. Tom is a proud alumnus of The University of Akron where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1970. He established this scholarship to aid students who otherwise would not be able to afford a college education; or without aid, would have to incur a large amount of debt to attend college. Tom hopes to assist Zips in their educational pursuits as they prepare for future opportunities and success.
The Thomas L. Gower II Endowed Scholarship was established as part of We Rise Together, the Campaign for The University of Akron.
