On April 26, 10 graduating seniors in the College of Engineering and Polymer Science were honored at the annual Trajectory Award Ceremony held in the Jean Hower Tabor Student Union. Each award winner receives $10,000 directly applied to pay back federal student loan debt. To date, $1 million has been given to students since the award鈥檚 establishment in 2012.

Students were selected based on faculty and staff nominations and letters of recommendation from co-op supervisors along with evidence of leadership, community involvement, volunteerism, extra-curricular, co-curricular, and participation in The University of Akron and the community.

In keeping with the tenet that 鈥渢o whom much is given, much is asked, and of those asked much is expected,鈥� recipients have also shown their willingness to contribute to the wellbeing of others through their potential to become community leaders.

The seniors were honored at a Trajectory Award reception where they personally thanked the Northeast Ohio couple who generously endowed this award and shared with them lessons learned in business and life.
