Robert H. and Janice E. Van Dine Scholarship

The Robert H. and Janice E. Van Dine Scholarship was established in March 2023. The Van Dines created the scholarship to assist current University of Akron students because they strongly believe the education Bob (‘71) received as an undergraduate at the University allowed him to easily complete his master’s program and best prepared him for a successful career. Bob and Jan enjoy living an active and adventurous lifestyle, mainly through dancing, skiing, biking, camping, and travelling. They are extremely involved in the Asheville, North Carolina, community as volunteers for the city. They have two loving daughters and four grandchildren.

The Robert H. and Janice E. Van Dine Scholarship supports deserving full- or part-time graduate or undergraduate students in The LeBron James Family Foundation School of Education. Recipients will be selected by The University of Akron Scholarship Committee in the Office of Student Financial Aid with preference given to students who have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and are involved in extracurricular activities.
