Whitmer, Marnie Endowed Student Scholarship
The Marnie Whitmer Endowed Student Scholarship, formerly The Marnie Whitmer Turnaround Student Scholarship, was originally established in April 2000 by Marnie E. Whitmer and revised in December 2022. The scholarship was established to support students who, through the course of high school, develop an appreciation for the importance of education. As a result, hardworking individuals are inspired and have personal motivation to equip themselves with a college education to better pursue their life goals.
The Marnie Whitmer Endowed Student Scholarship is to be awarded annually to an incoming freshman or current University of Akron student from North High School in Akron, Ohio who plans to study full-time at the University and demonstrates financial need and/or merit. The scholarship is renewable for four years and may be used for tuition, books, and fees provided the student maintains a minimum 2.5 grade point average. The recipient is to be a North High School graduate, or in the absence of a suitable applicant, a graduate from any Akron Public Schools High School. Selection of recipients is made by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
