Robert and Lynda Riesbeck Scholarship for the College of Business

The Robert and Lynda Riesbeck Scholarship for the College of Business was established in 2021 in recognition of The University of Akron’s Sesquicentennial Anniversary. Bob ’87 and Lynda ’87 met at UA and are proud graduates. Both believe in the importance of higher education and established this scholarship to enable students to focus on their careers and to encourage them to give back to their communities.

The Robert and Lynda Riesbeck Scholarship for the College of Business shall be awarded to a deserving in-state, full or part-time University of Akron student pursuing any major degree program within the College of Business. Recipients shall have a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or higher and may be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree. First consideration will be given to students with a deceased parent or who have been in the foster care system. Recipients shall be selected by The University of Akron Scholarship Committee.
