Macro-Davis Joint Degree Scholarship Fund

The Macro-Davis Joint Degree Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 2001 by University of Akron alumni Judith A. Macro and Richmond L. Davis. Ms. Macro graduated from the School of Law in 1992, and Mr. Davis graduated from the College of Business Administration in 1975.

The purpose of the scholarship is to assist deserving students who are receiving a joint degree at the College of Business Administration and the School of Law. The Macro-Davis Joint Degree Endowed Scholarship Fund is an avenue for Mr. and Mrs. Davis to assist others while honoring those who have helped them on their journey. It is established in recognition of the blessings the Lord has provided through their academic accomplishments.

Their first preference for scholarship selection is, on a rotating basis, to have the director of Graduate Programs at the College of Business Administration determine the recipients in consultation with Judith Macro and Richmond Davis. The next year, the associate dean of the School of Law, in consultation with Judith Macro and Richmond Davis, will select the recipients. If Judith Macro and Richmond Davis are not available to participate in the selection process, the deans will determine the recipients.

The second preference for selection will be, on a rotating basis, a female student(s) in the School of Law working part time, with a female student(s) in the College of Business Administration working part time chosen the next year. All applicants will be required to demonstrate financial need, be of sound character, and demonstrate community involvement. Applicants should submit applications and fully completed resumes or vitas electronically.
