Tom ’66 and Judi Phares recently made a gift to The Tom and Judi Phares Endowed Scholarship, established earlier this year in recognition of The University of Akron’s Sesquicentennial Anniversary. It will be awarded annually to two full-time or part-time undergraduate students enrolled in the College of Business Administration.
Tom and Judi worked hard to attain their college degrees, including working multiple jobs to fund their educations. Additionally, being proud Northeast Ohio natives, the Phares family believes in the importance and impact of UA and its students on this area. They desire to financially help deserving students achieve their degrees and they see great potential in UA graduates.
