Barone Family Scholarship for University of Akron Baseball

The Barone Family Scholarship for University of Akron Baseball was established in 2021 by Carlo (Carl) and Ricardo (Rick) Barone and revised in 2022 to offer renewability to recipients. Both men are 1994 graduates of UA’s College of Business Administration and have had a lifelong passion for baseball. As UA students, Carl and Rick valued their academic and athletic experiences and hope to provide similar opportunities for current and future team members of the Zips baseball program.

The Barone Family Scholarship for University of Akron Baseball was established to provide one baseball student-athlete with a scholarship. The recipient may be an incoming freshman or an active team member. The recipient must be an Ohio resident with first consideration given to a student-athlete from the greater Cleveland area. The recipient must have a demonstrated financial need, as defined by FAFSA’s generated Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC must be less than the cost of UA’s tuition and fees. Selection of the recipient will be made by the UA Men’s Baseball coaching staff, awarding the scholarship as funds are available. This scholarship is renewable as long as the recipient remains in good standing and continues to meet the above criteria.
