Read, Roger and Judy Scholarship for Excellence in Education
The Roger and Judy Read Scholarship for Excellence in Education was established in 1997 by Scott Read and his wife, Kimberly, in honor of Scott's parents, Roger and Judy Read. The scholarship is inspired by Roger and Judy Read's shared belief in the importance of education and the need to attract the most talented and dedicated students to pursue careers as educators. As longtime benefactors of The University of Akron, Roger and Judy have devoted their personal and professional talents to promoting the interests of the University. In tribute to this great display of commitment to education, Scott and Kimberly were inspired to establish the scholarship for the benefit of future educators.
The Roger and Judy Read Scholarship for Excellence in Education is part of the Scholarships for Excellence program, an initiative to recruit academically talented students to The University of Akron.
