Jeffrey R. Brashares Endowed Scholarship

The Jeffrey R. Brashares Endowed Scholarship was created through the generosity of Mr. Jeffrey R. Brashares, president of Rail Van Inc. Mr. Brashares, class of 1972, has long recognized the importance of higher education. This scholarship represents Mr. Brashares’ commitment to the success of students at The University of Akron. The scholarship is to be awarded with preference given to a student in the supply chain management program in the College of Business Administration. If no applicants meet these requirements, preference can be deferred to general management majors with a 3.25 cumulative GPA. The selection of the recipient will be determined by the College of Business Administration Scholarship Committee and Mr. Brashares.
