Ruhlin Scholarship in Civil Engineering and Construction Technology
The endowed Ruhlin Scholarship in Civil Engineering and Construction Technology was established in 1990 by William R. Ruhlin, a 1948 graduate of The University of Akron’s College of Engineering. The scholarships are to be awarded to deserving and talented students pursuing a degree in civil engineering or construction technology. The attributes to be considered in selecting the recipients shall be morals, character, academic achievement, motivation, and need. The scholarship recipients are to be selected by two individuals: the dean of the College of Engineering and a member of the Ruhlin family (i.e., progeny of John G. Ruhlin). The initial Ruhlin family member to serve will be W. R. Ruhlin. Each Ruhlin family member will choose his or her successor.
