Catherine J. Wardman Education Scholarship

Established in 1997 under the will of Catherine J. Wardman, The Catherine J. Wardman Endowed College of Education Scholarship for Women’s Physical Education has been presented to The University of Akron College of Education. A retired physical education teacher, Miss Wardman was a dedicated teacher and directed that her support be used for women who share her dedication to teaching physical education. It is the hope of the donor that the scholarship will encourage each recipient’s commitment to education, which was the mission of Catherine J. Wardman.

Recipients are to be selected by the Office of Financial Aid from female students enrolled in the College of Education in any current or future physical education programs. The Wardman Scholarship is to be awarded as part of the Scholarship for Excellence program as long as that program remains a University priority.
