Carol A. Adams Endowed Scholarship

The Carol A. Adams Endowed Scholarship was established in May 2020, in recognition of The University of Akron’s 150th Sesquicentennial Anniversary.

Ms. Adams graduated from The University of Akron in 1956 with a degree in Education and led an outstanding 39-year career, primarily teaching third and fourth grade students. Her teaching career began in Akron, but she later moved to California and taught in Oakland and Los Altos.

Ms. Adams is an avid sports fan, and, although located across the country, makes a point of watching Zips basketball and football games whenever possible.

The Carol A. Adams Endowed Scholarship is open to University of Akron students pursuing an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education from the LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education and desire a teaching career in elementary education. To be eligible for consideration, students can be either full-time or part-time. Scholarship assistance will be applied directly to the recipient’s student account for tuition and fees. Recipients will be determined by the University Scholarship Committee.
