Himebaugh, Lucille Endowed Scholarship

The Lucille Himebaugh Endowed Scholarship was established by a gift from Lucille Himebaugh's son, Gregory Karam, and her daughter-in-law, Suzanne W. Karam. Lucille Himebaugh Karam (B.A. 1931) devoted her adult life to the care of her family. This scholarship is dedicated with loving gratitude to the memory of Lucille, to the Oscar and Gertrude Himebaugh Family of Akron, Ohio, and to Lucille's extended family.

The University shall use the endowed fund's annual distribution to provide renewable scholarships for students who satisfy all four of the following requirements:

  1. The student must be a citizen of the United States or a lawful permanent resident of the United States, with particular preference being given to United States citizens.
  2. The undergraduate or graduate student must be majoring in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, earth science, mathematics, physics, aerospace systems engineering, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical science, emergency medical services technology, geology or nursing.
  3. The student must have a 3.3 grade point average, or higher, on a 4.0 scale or equivalent.
  4. The student must demonstrate financial need (e.g. FAFSA score).

Recipient selection will be made by the University Scholarship Committee. Scholarships will be applied directly to a student's account for applicable tuition. In addition, scholarships may be renewed provided the student remains in good standing, continues to meet the above criteria, and funds are available.
