John and Lia Costello, Jr. Endowed Scholarship(F)

The Lia and John H. Costello Jr. Endowed Scholarship for Excellence in Business was established in 1997 by their son, John H. Costello III. John, the senior executive vice president of Sears Roebuck and company, wished to recognize the contribution of his parents. John’s parents were longtime residents of Akron before retiring to South Carolina. John is a 1968 graduate of The University of Akron and is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. John received the Dr. Frank L. Simonetti Distinguished Business Alumni Award in 1997.

The scholarship will be presented to a student enrolled in the College of Business Administration with a preference being given to marketing majors.
