Jobe, Dr. William H. and Irene B. Endowed Scholarship Fund
Established in 1997 by Morris B. Jobe and his wife, Maxine G., in loving memory of Mr. Jobe's parents, The Dr. William H. and Irene B. Jobe Endowed Scholarship Fund provides full academic assistance for meritorious undergraduate students attending The University of Akron.
The scholarship pays tribute to Dr. Jobe, an accomplished chiropractor and man of great integrity and compassion, who generously served his family, community, and profession. Dr. Jobe firmly believed in college education for men and women and personally promoted the value of continuing education by furthering his education while in practice. Through his continuing studies and pioneering work in electronic diagnostics, he was granted membership in the National Medical Society and later founded and became president of the Standard College of Chiropractic.
During the days of the depression, the Jobe family learned the value of family sacrifice, and the award provided by a father's great support and encouragement. Three children completed degrees in higher education. Louise Jobe Marsh, Kathryn Jobe Judson, and Morris B. Jobe graduated from The University of Akron, took postgraduate studies, and both daughters earned master's degrees. Irene Jobe received a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1916. It is the hope of the Jobe family that The William H. and Irene B. Jobe Endowed Scholarship Fund helps others to secure a college education and enjoy the benefits that have accrued from their education.
