The Robert U. Blaser Family Endowed Scholarship

The Robert U. Blaser Family Endowed Scholarship was created by a gift to The University of Akron Foundation by Mr. Robert U. Blaser in 1993 in memory of his wife, Naomi, and his daughter, Loretta. The scholarship assists a student majoring in physics and participating in the University Honors Program. Robert Blaser graduated from the physics program in 1937 with two other students. The program’s significant growth has pleased him and encouraged him to offer support for this program. In the event there is no physics student in the Honors Program, the funds are to be used in support of a worthy undergraduate or graduate engineering or science student as determined by the Physics Department and the Office of Financial Aid.
