Gertz, Sybil and Stanley Endowed Scholarship

The Sybil and Stanley Gertz Endowed Scholarship was established in 2007 out of the Gertz's desire to assist students pursuing degrees in Secondary Education at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. As lifetime residents of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, the Gertz's recognize the importance of the University to the area's economic, cultural and social vibrancy. Mrs. Gertz, a 1947 alumna of the University's College of Education, went on to enjoy a 29-year career as an educator in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Public Schools, teaching full time at East High School as well as Firestone High School, and many other schools during her years as a substitute teacher. Mindful of the positive impact educators have in the lives of children, the Gertz's generosity will support future generations of teachers who choose Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to pursue degrees in education. 

Application for the scholarship is open to students majoring in Secondary Education who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors in Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's College of Education, with preference given to students from Summit County. Scholarship recipients must maintain at least a 2.75 grade point average. Students may apply for renewal of the award provided the grade point level is maintained. Selection will be made by the Dean of the College of Education or appropriate designee.
