Thomas Kelty Memorial APICS Scholarship Award

The Thomas J. Kelty Memorial APICS Scholarship Award was established in 1984 by the Akron-area chapter of the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS)for the purpose of annually recognizing an outstanding student majoring in supply chain/operations management. Additional consideration is given to scholarship applicants who are members of the APICS student chapter. In 1996, the award was renamed The Thomas J. Kelty Memorial APICS Scholarship Award in memory of Thomas J. Kelty, a longtime member and president of the Akron-area APICS chapter, who was a strong advocate for professional education and an active supporter of the APICS student chapter at The University of Akron. Selection of the recipient is to be determined by the local APICS chapter and the faculty of the Department of Management, College of Business Administration.
