Polen, Ednamae Endowed Scholarship in Business
Ednamae Polen graduated in the top 2 percent of her class at The University of Akron in 1940, majoring in business administration. While working for the head of the marketing department at The BFGoodrich Company, she was a key factor in its success. Her career then took her to the burgeoning transportation industry, where she worked for the head of Coastal Trucking Company/Coastal Tank Lines Inc. of Akron. In 2002, Ms. Polen established The Ednamae Polen Endowed Scholarship in Business to support female students in the College of Business Administration.
To qualify for assistance, female students must be in good standing in the College of Business Administration. Preference will be given to active members of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Grants will cover tuition, fees, books, room and board, all or in part. The Office of Student Financial Aid will select the scholarship recipients.
