Palmer W. Wardman Endowed Scholarship

The Palmer W. Wardman Endowed Fund was established through a testamentary gift from Palmer W. Wardman ’33. Mr. Wardman was raised in the North Hill area of Akron and, following graduation, took a position with the State Department. He served in many countries around the world, including Iran and several African states. After retirement, Mr. Wardman returned to the Akron area to be with friends and his sister, Catherine. His endowed fund is established for the unrestricted support of The University of Akron and initially will be used for the Scholarships for Excellence program.
