Owen Family Scholarship in Nursing
Summit County residents Steve and Sherryl Owen and their children made the decision to establish a family scholarship in the College of Nursing. Many of the members of the Owen family are alumni of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. Family members Sherryl Owen, Amy (Owen) Abernathy, and Stephanie (Owen) Jabbour graduated from the College of Nursing. Nick Abernathy and Steve are graduates of the College of Business Administration. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ has played a major role in all their lives, and it is their wish to establish a scholarship to assist local students in need.
To be eligible for The Owen Family Scholarship in Nursing, students must be accepted into the College of Nursing and be in their junior or senior year, attend Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ full time, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and demonstrate financial need. Preference will be given to graduates of Cuyahoga Falls High School or surrounding area. It is the Owen family's intention for the recipient to maintain the award on a yearly basis once awarded until graduation, given the student maintains good standing within the College of Nursing. The award recipients and the amount of the annual award will be determined by the Owen family in collaboration with the College of Nursing.
