the Leone and Franklyn Dickinson Endowed Scholarship

The Leone and Franklyn Dickinson Endowment Fund in the College of Education was created by a gift to The University of Akron Foundation from Franklyn Dickinson in loving memory of his wife, Leone. Born in Watertown, S.D., and educated at The University of Wisconsin at Whitewater, Leone Dickinson came to Akron in 1937. She received her master’s from the College of Education. This endowment is to benefit qualified and deserving students in the College of Education who are preparing for careers in the teaching of business education at the high school or collegiate level, but not be limited to such classifications. Selection of award recipients is to be made by the Office of Student Financial Aid in consultation with the dean of the College of Education.
