GAR Foundation Room & Board Scholarship

The GAR Foundation Room and Board Scholarship was established in August 2021 by the GAR Foundation, Akron, Ohio. The scholarship will provide emergency assistance to University of Akron residential, undergraduate students. This generous gift aligns with GAR’s mission of supporting organizations and programs that help Akron become smarter, stronger, and more vibrant.

Eligible students for The GAR Foundation Room and Board Scholarship must:

Be enrolled at The University of Akron and pursuing an undergraduate degree in any college
Be a resident in on-campus housing
Be in good academic standing with The University of Akron
Have demonstrated financial need
To be considered, students should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid, the Residence Life and Housing Office or ZipAssist. Selection of recipients will be made by these three offices.

The scholarship will be awarded after all other aid sources have been exhausted, and it may be renewed based on the recipient’s financial need and if they continue to meet candidate requirements. Scholarship amounts and dates of award may vary, and awards may be reportable and/or taxable to the student recipients.
