The Mary A. and Joseph E. Snyder Scholarship

 The Mary A. and Joseph E. Snyder Scholarship for History and/or English Undergraduate Honors Students was established in 2005 by an estate gift from Mary Alice and Joseph Snyder. Mary Alice attended the University and enjoyed her time with the History and English professors within the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences. Mary Alice’s wish was to honor the professors of the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences by creating a scholarship that would attract the best and brightest students to study history and/or English at The University of Akron.
