Leroy E. Dietz Scholarship Fund

The LeRoy E. Dietz Scholarship Fund was established to support deserving students in the College of Education. As an alumnus and an educator at Akron Garfield High School for 33 years before retiring in 1970, LeRoy Dietz intended that his support be directed to the scholarship needs of promising individuals entering the teaching profession. Selection of candidates will be determined by the dean of the College of Education in concert with the University’s financial aid office. LeRoy Dietz established an annuity trust funded by a gift of real estate in July 1975. The trust provided annual support to him during his lifetime and upon his death on June 8, 1990, the proceeds were applied to an endowed scholarship fund as he had directed.
