Grinstead, Dean A. and Jacqueline A. Basketball Scholarship
The Dean A. and Jacqueline A. Grinstead Basketball Scholarship was established in 1995 by Dean and Jacqueline Grinstead, avid basketball fans and loyal supporters of The University of Akron basketball program. The Grinsteads, as a result of their appreciation for intercollegiate athletics and its positive effect on young people, have initiated this fund to ensure that a member of the University's men's basketball team receives scholarship assistance each year. The recipient shall have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 to be eligible for this award. In addition, the young man must display qualities of sportsmanship and strong moral character, which are held in high regard by the Grinsteads. The director of athletics, in consultation with the men's basketball coach, shall select the awardee.
