The Dr. George D. Davis Endowed Scholarship in Speech-Language Pathology

The Dr. George D. Davis Endowed Scholarship in Speech-Language Pathology was created in 2006 through the generosity of Dr. George Davis and his wife, Joy W. Exy. Dr. Davis was the department head of the School of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology at The University of Akron from 1974 to 1989. During his tenure as department head at The University of Akron, he expanded the program offerings in the school and doubled full-time faculty positions. Dr. Davis’ desire is to promote the profession of Speech-Language Pathology and alleviate the great need for financial assistance many students experience. Mrs. Exy wishes to honor her husband and the program to which he dedicated his career with her contribution.

The Dr. George D. Davis Endowed Scholarship in Speech-Language Pathology will be awarded to a student(s) majoring in Speech Pathology with preference given to an undergraduate student. Recipients must have a demonstrated strong academic record and will be selected by the Speech-Language Pathology Scholarship Committee in coordination with the Office of Student Financial Aid.
